There's a mist over Broadway Breathing cool sheets of rain Lights his last cigarette and Turns his back to the wind BRIDGE She says, baby, I don't know Just how to explain And I can't see the sense And I can't play this game But he's not even listening He stares at the ground And she won't ever know What was on his mind CHORUS Well, now, he's a rebel without a cause Hey, c'mon, let's make a deal See your name in lights just like Jimmy Dean Live and die behind the wheel Opened out on the highway Leaving her far behind There's a star down on Sunset
He says, yeah, this one's mine BRIDGE CHORUS Well, now, Mr. D whispered in his ear Hey, c'mon, let's make a deal Engines running hot, singing Jimmy Dean Anytime there's time to k** He drove like a demon And he burned up the screen But he never looked back, no She just wasted my time CHORUS Gonna let those horses loose again Hey, c'mon, let's make a deal See them running wild just like Jimmy Dean Overdrive in chrome and steel Hey, c'mon Hey, c'mon, let's make a deal Well, now, he's a rebel without a cause Live and die behind the wheel
