Once a Rebel Songtext
von Russ Ballard

Night is falling
And there on the street
In the shadow there stands a man
Living hard as the ground under his feet
They see but they don′t understand

So many fools who make a river
They fill it deep
And they think you'll drown
They build a mountain
And stand it in your way boy
But you take it and you break it down

You know they never met you
Still they think they′re gonna get you
Remember what you said boy


Once a rebel always a rebel
Be a rebel to the end
You ain't a runner so don't pretend
Once a rebel always a rebel
Don′t start running don′t you hide
I'll give you cover
I′ll stand by your side

Don't you run boy - don′t you run boy
They gonna think you're done boy
You′re done boy
You stand and fight boy
'Cos you're right boy

They see you riding
And fight against the wind
They don′t understand just what you do
You know in your heart
That soon you′re gonna win
You're a fighter and boy you′re true
Now they're out to show you
When they don′t even know you
Remember what you said boy


Once a rebel always a rebel
Be a rebel to the end
You ain't a runner so don′t pretend
Once a rebel always a rebel
Don't start running don't you hide
I′ll give you cover
I′ll stand by your side

Don't you run boy - don′t you run boy
They gonna think you're done boy
You′re done boy
You stand and fight boy
'Cos you′re right boy

Once a rebel always a rebel
Be a rebel to the end
You ain't a runner so don't pretend
Don′t you run boy - don′t you run boy
They gonna think you're done boy
You′re done boy
You stand and fight boy
'Cos you′re right boy
