The Charlie Daniels Band - Renegade lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I went down to Nashville, In 1973 And they won't nobody in Music City Wanted anything to do with me They said, Boy you sure dress funny And you just don't fit our crowd And your music's weird, your hair's too long And you play that guitar way too loud I said, "Yeah, I know, I'm different I know, I'm not the same And you may drive a big Cadillac car But I ain't going to play your game [Chorus] And you can put me down in this guitar town And I ain't going to be afraid Because I'm a proud walking, slow talking Hard headed, high stepping genuine renegade [Verse 2] Well, I ain't afraid to tell you what's on my mind I just ain't the bashful type I go all the way for the U.S.A Because I love them stars and stripes I ain't never been scared of nothing And I'm a renegade to the bone So if you're looking for trouble Better bring you some help I'm a little bit more Than you can handle alone I'm mighty proud of Dixie I'm just full of Southern pride I'm a catfish connoisseur And I know, I'm country field [Bridge] I get an ornery streak sometimes when I speak But I guess, it's just the price I paid Because I'm a hard driving surviving Four wheeling, straight dealing genuine renegade [Chorus]
