Renegade Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

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 gonna play your game? 

And you can put me down in this guitar town 

And I ain't gonna be afraid 

'Cause I'm a proud walkin', slow talkin' 

Hard headed, high steppin' genuine renegade 

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. 

'Cause I love them stars and stripes 

I ain't never been scared of nothin' 

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 countryfied 

I get an ornery streak sometimes when I speak 

But I guess, it's just the price I paid 

'Cause I'm a hard drivin' survivin' 

Four wheelin', straight dealin' genuine renegade 

And you can put me down in this guitar town 

I ain't gonna be afraid 

'Cause I'm a proud walkin', slow talkin' 

Hard headed, high steppin' genuine renegade
