[Verse 1]
Found you shakin’ by the roadside
Rain in your eyes
Mud on your paws
I wrapped you up in my old blue jacket
Swore I’d stay whatever the cost
You climbed up into my front seat
Laid your head right on my knee
From that night on it was settled
You were my boy
You were ridin’ with me (yeah)
[Chorus]
Rebel
My good boy Rebel
You’re my shadow when the hard winds blow
Rebel
My good boy Rebel
You’re my heart
And I hope you know
When this world gets heavy and it’s draggin’ me low
You lift me up
You don’t let go
Rebel
My good boy Rebel
Your old man loves you so
[Verse 2]
Some days I’m sinkin’ in the silence
Staring through the floorboards at the dark
You nudge my hand
Start that tail goin’
Turn a dead room into a spark
We walk it off down to the river
You chase the ducks
I chase my breath
I swear you’re the one who saved me
Same as the day I pulled you from death (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Rebel
My good boy Rebel
You’re my shadow when the hard winds blow
Rebel
My good boy Rebel
You’re my heart
And I hope you know
When this world gets heavy and it’s draggin’ me low
You lift me up
You don’t let go
Rebel
My good boy Rebel
Your old man loves you so
[Bridge]
One day your legs might tremble
One day my hands might shake
But I’ll be there
Yeah I’ll be there
Every step that you take
[Chorus]
Rebel
My good boy Rebel
You’re my shadow when the hard winds blow
Rebel
My good boy Rebel
You’re my heart
And I hope you know
When this road gets lonely and the nights run long
You curl up close
And it all feels strong
Rebel
My good boy Rebel
Your old man loves you so (yeah he does)
