They call me the Nashville rebel,
They say, `Leave that girl alone.'
Don't you give them advice,
So you 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,
I love little kissing 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.

Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel.

They call me the Nashville rebel,
Oh boy, don't you waste your time?
For I 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 a loner and not like it fine.
A doctor has a wife and lives 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.

Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel.
