Nashville Rebel Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Harlan Howard) 

They call me the Nashville Rebel 

They say leave that boy alone 

Don't you give him advice or he'll turn to ice 

And you might as well talk to stone. 

But I've got things to do 

And things to say in my own way 

I don't have time for your parties 

My love's little guessin' games.

I've got songs to write in the still of night 

I was born to write and sing 

And I've got things to do 

And things to say in my own way.

They call me the Nashville Rebel 

Little girl don't you waste your time 

For I've given my heart to this old guitar 

You deserve a better love than mine. 

And I've got things to do 

And things to say in my own way 

I'm the Nashville Rebel 

I'm alone and I like it fine.

I'd like to have a wife and live a normal life 

But I just don't have the time 

'Cause I've got things to do 

And things to say in my own way. 

I've got things to do and things to say 

In my own way...
