Some prayers never reach the sky
Some wounds never heal
They still say someday the South will rise
Man, I want to see that deal
I don't want to grow old gracefully
I don't want to go 'til it's too late
I'll be some old man inthe road somewhere
Kneeling down in the dust by the side of the
interstate
CHORUS
I am a renegade
I've been a rebel all my days
I am a renegade
I've been a rebel all my days
We were hopelessly outnumbered
It was a lost cause all along
But when we heard the bugles call
We swore we'd stand or fall together right or
wrong
We ain't seen no reconstruction here
Just the scorched earth all around
And the high school band played "Dixieland"
While they tore our tattered flags and banners
down
CHORUS
Soome prayers never reach the sky
Some wars never end
Some dreams refuse to die
Next time I would rather break than bend
