Well, I went down to Nashville In 1973 And they won't nobody in Music City Wanted anything to do with me They said,? Boy you sure dress funny And you just don't fit our crowd And your music's weird, your hair's too long And you play that guitar way too loud? I said, "Yeah, I know, I'm different I know, I'm not the same And you may drive a big Cadillac car But I ain't gonna play your game? And you can put me down in this guitar town And I ain't gonna be afraid 'Cause I'm a proud walkin', slow talkin' Hard headed, high steppin' genuine renegade Well, I ain't afraid to tell you what's on my mind I just ain't the bashful type I go all the way for the U.S.A. 'Cause I love them stars and stripes I ain't never been scared of nothin' And I'm a renegade to the bone So if you're looking for trouble better bring you some help I'm a little bit more than you can handle alone I'm mighty proud of Dixie I'm just full of Southern pride I'm a catfish connoisseur And I know, I'm countryfied I get an ornery streak sometimes when I speak But I guess, it's just the price I paid 'Cause I'm a hard drivin' survivin' Four wheelin', straight dealin' genuine renegade And you can put me down in this guitar town I ain't gonna be afraid 'Cause I'm a proud walkin', slow talkin' Hard headed, high steppin' genuine renegade
