[Verse 1]
Old boy off the creek
Mud on his boots
Dust on his sleeve
The Army packed his name
in a green duffel bag
Sent him chasin’ every
faraway flag
[Chorus]
A Rebel going far away
having to grow up way to fast
The Army tried to break him
but he made it through
[Verse 2]
Came home with a head
full of foreign skies
He had a wild
rebel attitude
Bought a Fastback Mustang
Black around the eyes
Met a little wild tiger
She laughed
at all his jokes
He loved her cute
little nose
[Chorus]
Now A Rebel fell for a tiger
They said that car is way to fast
They said you drive that car so hard
There’s no way it will ever last
[verse 3]
Her sister in the backseat
on their first date
He can’t remember
what all her sister Said
But she just rolled her eyes
She Kicked her boots
on his dash
He was fallin’ to fast
Hopin’ this would last
[Chorus]
Now a Rebel fell for a Tiger
they said you’re moving way to fast
they said it will never last
[verse 4]
then one night
she wanted onion rings
So she was looking
over in the back seat
looking for some change
She came out
with an engagement ring
He prayed that she’d say
yes
Now God was answering
prayers
That night
Cause she said
yes so dang fast
[Chorus]
Now a Tiger fell for a Rebel
she has to grow up way to fast
they said you’re moving way to fast they say it will never last
[Verse 5]
now he hears those
little Bare feet
Two girls chasin’
Their mama
while she’s fixin’ Mac and cheese
Her hand reachin’
for his hand
He Didn’t know what
he was prayin’ for back then
but time is moving way to fast.
[Bridge]
Now a Rebel fell for a Tiger
[Verse]
Now there’s a Driveway full of red-dog
breakfast on a Coleman stove
campers blankets. bicycles
lanterns and fishing rods
Little voices asking
“Daddy can we stay”
vacation moving way to fast
but
memories will always last
[Chorus]
Now a Rebel fell for a Tiger
life’s moving way to fast
but they said it wouldn’t last
He Didn’t know
what he was prayin’ for back then
[Bridge]
Waitin’ on little feet at the door
Waitin’ on one more bedtime story
One more “love you more”
[Chorus]
Now a Rebel fell for a Tiger
[verse]
Now there’s Sunsets
in their backyard
Swimming pool
crystal clear
Kids chasin’ Fireflies
To put in
a glass jar
From that creek to that
foreign land
To this worn-out wedding band
Didn’t know what he was prayin’ for back then
[Chorus]
Now a Rebel fell for a Tiger
[verse 6]
Now all these years went by
life moved on
way to fast
some said we fell
Way to fast
that our love would never last
[Chorus somber tone]
Now a Rebel fell for a Tiger
My love will always last
you know that I’m in heaven now
[Bridge]
Now a Rebel’s waiting on his Tiger
He says
I’m waiting
up here in heaven
my love will always last
But please hurry fast
