When you wake up where you don't belong In a lame a** town with nothing going on Nothing to do and nowhere to go I'd much rather be playing rock n' roll Take me away I want to live my life As a rock and roll renegade Don't take me home It's nowhere to me I'll bring my loved ones with me I've got something to tell the world I won't give it up just for a girl Get me on a plane so I can get away Because I want to live my life As a rock and roll renegade These times out here, they aren't for me Playing rock 'n roll is where I need to be Gotta get away and leave it all behind 'Cause rock 'n roll's what I define Dada, nana I know I'm right, just wait and see Rock 'n roll will set me free So now we're out in Hollywood Doing everything we said we would Don't care about a thing in the world Just gotta find that special girl Wait a minute I think I've changed my mind Renegade till the day I die Never, never, never, never, never again I don't need you, I'm my own best friend
