I've Been A Rebel (and It Don't Pay) Lyrics - Singles - David Lee Murphy

(David Lee Murphy) 

Well dad said son don't you be a fool 

Stay away from that old brown mule 

He's mean as a snake and twice as quick 

Oh but always that kind that had to be shown 

I couldn't listen I couldn't be told 

Even way back then I had to get my kicks 

Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay 

There ain't no future in livin' this way 

It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change 

Yeah I done it the hard way all my life 

It's cost me plenty too many times 

I been a rebel and it don't pay

If there's a bump in the road well I hit 'em all 

You don't really learn 'til you hit a brick wall 

Back up and say man I could'a gone around that 

Yeah sometimes I wish I could just go along 

But that hard headed streak's just a little too long 

Gettin' first hand knowledge and goin' nowhere fast 

Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay 

There ain't no future in livin' this way 

It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change 

Yeah I done it the hard way all my life 

It's cost me plenty too many times 

I been a rebel and it don't pay
