Intro: 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
