Rebels

Honey, don't walk out, I'm too drunk to follow
You know you won't feel this way tomorrow
Well, maybe a little rough around the edges
Or inside a little hollow
I get faced with some things sometimes
That are so hard to swallow, hey!

I was born a rebel, down in Dixie
On a Sunday mornin'
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal
I was born a rebel, born a rebel

She picked me up in the mornin'
And she paid all my tickets
Then she screamed in the car
Left me out in the thicket
Well I never would've dreamed
That her heart was so wicked
Yeah but I keep coming back
'Cause it's so hard to kick it, hey, hey, hey

I was born a rebel, down in Dixie
On a Sunday mornin'
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal
I was born a rebel, born a rebel

Even before my father's father
They called us all rebels
As they burned our cornfields
And left our cities leveled
I can still feel the eyes of those blue-bellied devils
Yeah, when I'm walking round at night
Through the concrete and metal, hey, hey, hey

I was born a rebel, down in Dixie
On a Sunday mornin'
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal
I was born a rebel, born a rebel

I was born a rebel, down in Dixie
On a Sunday mornin'
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal
I was born a rebel, born a rebel

Hey hey hey

We got more comin' soon (it ain't nothin' to me)

Got songs from rich musicians (it ain't nothin' to me)
Called Tokyo long distance and the queen came for tea

I'm walkin' on eggs (it ain't nothin' to me)
Missionaries walkin' backwards, touch 'em and they bleed
Might mean somethin' to you (it ain't nothin' to me)

When you dance, I can go right with you
Yeah when you dance, I can go right with you
Yeah when you dance, I just go

Everyone has a message (it ain't nothin' to me)
For avoiding the wreckage (it ain't nothin' to me)

Don't Come Around Here No More

[Intro]
Hey!
Hey!

[Chorus]
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! Don't come around here no more
I've given up, stop
I've given up, stop
Ah, ah, ah, ooh-ooh
I've given up, stop, on waiting any longer
I've given up, on this love getting stronger

[Post-Chorus]
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more

[Chorus]
I don't feel you anymore
You darken my door
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! Don't come around here no more
I've given up, stop
I've given up, stop
Ah, ah, ah, ooh-ooh
I've given up, stop, you tangle my emotions
I've given up, honey please, admit it's over

[Post-Chorus]
Hey! Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Hey! Don't come around here no more

Stop walking down my street
Don't come around here no more
Who did you expect to meet?
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! Don't come around here no more
Hey!

[Outro]
Honey please (Honey please)
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Don't come around here no more

Southern Accents

[Verse 1]
There's a southern accent, where I come from
The young 'uns call it country
The Yankees call it dumb

[Chorus]
I got my own way of talkin'
But everything is done, with a southern accent
Where I come from

[Verse 2]
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta's
Just a motel room to me
Think I might go work Orlando
If them orange groves don't freeze

[Chorus]
I got my own way of workin'
But everything is run , with a southern accent
Where I come from

[Bridge]
For just a minute there I was dreaming
For just a minute it was all so real
For just a minute she was standing there, with me
[Verse 3]
There's a dream I keep having
Where my mama comes to me
Then kneels down over by the window
And says a prayer for me

[Chorus]
I got my own way of prayin'
But every one's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I got my own way of livin'
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where I come from

Make It Better (Forget About Me)

Honey, I want to make it better, baby
Honey, I want to make it good again
Baby, I want to make it better, girl
Yeah better for you and me
Honey, wait and see
I know its been a long, long time
But it's going to be alright
Honey, you mustn't let it drag you down
When there's a lot a fools around
And anything I can do, honey
I'm going to do it for you

I want to make it better, baby
Listen, I want to make it good again
Baby, good for you and me
Baby, please believe
That anything I can do
You know I'm going to do it for you
(Forget about me, forget about these eyes)
(Forget about me, say good-bye)

There was too much rain, too much humidity
Tell me why you did what you did to me?
Honey, you're the judge, there ain't no jury
And I'm just an innocent boy, used to being guilty

(Forget about me, forget about these eyes)
(Forget about love, say good-bye good-bye)
(Forget about me, forget about these eyes)
(Forget about love, say good-bye good-bye)
(Forget about me, forget about these eyes)
(Forget about love, say good-bye good-bye)

I'm gonna make it better, babe
'Cause tonight gonna make it good again
Yea I wanna make it alright
Wanna make it alright

Spike

Look out, another one, just like the other ones
Another bad-ass, another troublemaker
I'm scared, ain't you boys scared?
I wonder if he's going to show us what bad is?
Boys, we got a man with a dog collar on
Maybe we ought to throw old Spike a bone?

Here's another misfit, another Jimmy Dean
Bet he's got a motorbike, what do y'all think?
That it would be good if we get a ride on it
If he ain't too mad about the future
Maybe we ought to help him see
The future ain't what it used to be

Listen
Hey Spike, what do you like?
Hey Spike, what do you like?

Hey Spike, what do you like?
Hey Spike, you're scaring my wife
Hey Spike, tell us about life
Could you tell me about life?
I might need need a dog collar too, boy
He might make me say say
I might say, might say

Dogs on the Run

Well we come with what was on our backs
Yeah, when the leaves had died and all turned black
Back when the wind was cold and blew them around
When we laid our blankets on the ground

Yeah and I woke up feeling hungry
Looking straight into the sun
And left a cold night on the ground
Like a dog on the run

I fell overboard and washed up on a beach
Let waves and sand roll over me
I was helped to the home of a young bleached blonde
Who said "Honey, I discovered early in life
There's ways of getting anything I want"

Some of us are different
It's just something in our blood
There's no need for explanations
We're just dogs on the run
It's just dogs on the run

Yes, the room was painted blue and grey
All my meals came to me on a silver tray
Yeah she would laugh and light my cigarettes
She said "honey ain't it funny how a crowd gathers around
Anyone living life without a net?"

Yea how they'll beg you for the answer
But it won't ever be enough
There's no way you could ever tell 'em
It's just dogs on the run
It's just dogs on the run
It's just dogs on the run, babe
Like a dog on the run
Like a dog on the run
Like a dog
Like a dog
Like a dog on the run
Yeah

Mary's New Car

Mary got a brand new car
Mary got a brand new set of wheels
Now everyone here is so charged
Man, you don't know how good it feels
And we want to go where she goes
We want to listen to her radio

Mary got the one she was saving for
Now everyone here is so charged
Many never looked so good before
And we want to go where she goes
We want to listen to her radio

Can we ride? Mary, can we ride?
Can we ride? Mary, can we ride?

Can we ride? Mary, can we ride?
Can we ride? Mary, can we ride?

Mary got a brand new car
Mary got a brand new set of wheels
Now everyone here is so charged
Man, you don't know how good it feels
And we want to go where she goes
We want to listen to her radio

Mary got a brand new car
Mary got a brand new car
Mary got a brand new car
Mary got a brand new car
Mary got a brand new car

The Best of Everything

[Verse 1]
She probably works in a restaurant
That's what her mama did
But I don't know if she ever really could've put up with it
Or maybe she sings in a nightclub
'Cause sometimes she used to sing
But I don't know if it ever amounted to anything
So listen honey

[Chorus]
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything, in the world
And honey I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for

[Verse 2]
Yeah and it's over before you know it
It all goes by so fast
Yeah, the bad nights last forever
And the good nights don't ever seem to last
And man, we never had the real thing
But sometimes we used to kiss
Back then we didn't understand
What we were caught up in
So listen honey

[Chorus]
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything, in the world
And honey I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for, yeah baby
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything, in the world
And honey I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
