verse 1
The headlights of my daddy's car are dimmer than the moon
And the radio is playin' low, it's Johnny Cash in June
I know these hills, these twisted roads, I know their every turn
As the city sits below and like a distant fire it burns
Cause I'm a rebel to the one I love
Her heart so far from me
Yeah I'm a rebel to the one I love
Just a man who's lost at sea
verse 2
I was born in east Los Angeles, my father walked the beach
So, out of spite, I turned to petty crime upon the streets
'Til I met this girl at the pool home and you know she knocked me off my feet
And I swore to change my wicked ways and win her heart to me
verse 3
So we married in the month of May and we moved up in the hills
And like my old man I joined the police force to pay the bills
But when a crooked sargent called me in yeah and I wouldn't play the game
Well, he took my badge and he took my gun and he sent me off in shame
Cause I'm a rebel to the one I love
Her heart so far from me
Yeah I'm a rebel to the one I love
Just a man who's lost at sea
Solo
verse 4
So I tried my hand at selling cars, but I couldn't make a poor man buy
Then I drove a truck, but I hated all those long and dusty miles
So now I sell that cocaine honey yeah up in the hills of Hollywood
And the one I love, she left me, and in truth, I knew she would
Cause I'm a rebel to the one I love
Her heart so far from me
Yeah I'm a rebel to the one I love
Just a lover lost at sea
Cause I'm a rebel to the one I love
Her heart so far from me
Yeah I'm a rebel to the one I love
Just a man who's lost at sea
