John Joseph Ray - Lifelong Rebel

Drivin’ your van back from Vegas – I think of all the years
You lived your life – lots of changes – the laughin’ and the tears
My eyes let loose as I heard you singin’ on the stereo
They lay me down, way down beneath the green
The green grass of home - oooh - the green grass of home

You grew up strong – rough and toughened on the city street
I walked around always knowing you watched out for me
As we went down to the corner of the big brick square
You sang some songs, together with your friends
Your street friends down there - oooh - with your street friends there

Lifelong rebel – and stubborn to the end
Didn’t need anyone – to be strong, never bend
Dark sunglasses - concealed the damage done
Life long rebel – your poison was – your poison was your friend
It was your best friend

I drank too much at your wedding – you said it was OK
To break the rules if you make it so you can get away
You taught me not to ever give in to anybody else
Why did you let them, brother, take your power
Take your power away - oooh - You gave your power away

Lifelong rebel – and stubborn to the end
Didn’t need anyone – to be strong, never bend
Dark sunglasses - concealed the damage done
Life long rebel – your poison was – your poison was your friend, yeah
It was your best friend - Was your best friend
Lifelong rebel with your poison – it was your best friend
Lifelong rebel
