Renegade lyrics

Song information

Artist: Wishbone Ash
Album: Strange Affair

Lyrics

I can't tell you, mother, why I feel this way
People passing through my life, I let them slip away
Standing in the bright light, let the music play
Better in the spotlight
You gotta turn my night to day
Lead me to the water
You can't make me drink
Dressed like a renegade, faster than you think
Can't put down these feelings rising to the boil
Colours of a rattlesnake, ready to uncoil

Better by far this way
Turn, I want you to turn
Turn my night to day

You yourself set me on this course when I was a child
Walking down these men streets like a boy gone wild
Programmed for survival
All will be revealed
The child is father to the man
I guess my fate is sealed

Better by far this way
Burn my blues
Burn my blues away
Like a renegade
