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
[ guitar ]
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
