They call me the Nashville Rebel
they say leave that boy alone
Don't you give him advice or he'll 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 my
love's little guessin' 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
They call me the Nashville Rebel little
girl don't you waste your time
For I've 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
I'd like to have a wife and live 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
I've got things to do and
things to say in my own way
