Renegades Songtext
von Mike Mains & The Branches

Thought we were bullet proof
Smokin′ your older brother's cigarettes
Just two country boys
Man, we never shoulda pulled into that driveway

But I still hear the blackbirds singin′ in the branches above
I see the smoke risin' outta my father's gun
I smelled the fear in your heart when you left me alone
On Kelly Road singing

All that I want is to be young again
Father, forgive me for all my sins

I used to fantasize
Crackin′ his skull open wide, I′d paint the walls with his blood
Oh, how he'd scream
I wish you never woulda pulled into that driveway

But I think I just saw the devil in my old man′s eyes
Like a demon he cries, "it's time to get inside"
Guess that explains the bruises you see from time to time


All that I want is to be young again
Father, forgive me for all my sins
All that I want is to be young again
Oh, we were renegades, renegades, renegades
We had gasoline for blood

We′re all just kids in our parents' clothes
Holdin′ each other, half drunk, tryin' to figure it out
We're all just kids in our parents′ clothes
On our knees singing, "Jesus, won′t you carry me?"

Brother, you're all I′ll ever need
For you I'd let them tear the flesh right off of these
White bones if it′s what's you needed
What you needed, what you needed
Oh, what you needed
Oh

All that I want is to be young again
Father, forgive me for all my sins
All that I want is to be young again
Oh, we were renegades, renegades, renegades
We had gasoline for blood
Blood, oh
Blood, oh
Thought we were bulletproof
