The Last Rebel Lyrics - Thyrty: 30th Anniversary Collection - Lynyrd Skynyrd

There's a grey horse standin' still 

As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride 

As the rain pours off his hat 

You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes 

Now the cannons are silent 

His friends are all gone 

Gotta put it all behind him 

If he ever wants to find his way home 

He's the last rebel on the road 

Just a boy with his old guitar 

Keeps to himself but everybody takes him wrong 

But he carries on 

Got a dream that will never die 

Can't change him, no use in stayin' where you don't belong 

Now he's rollin' down the highway 

Gone too far too fast 

No one will ever find him, he'll never look back 

[Chorus] 

'Cause he's the last rebel 

And he's all alone 

He's the last rebel 

His friends are all gone 

He's the last rebel 

The last rebel on the road 

There'll never be another like him 

He's the last of a dying breed 

Ain't no use in tryin' to tame him 

'Cause he's the last rebel 

[Chorus]
