all the things that went on my permanent record
never ever even heard from again
acting out against anything that looked normal
trying not to do whatever my parents did

future redneck with one foot in the past
and one foot in freedom and mystery
a rebel without enough to do
drinking beer and sniffing glue
saved by rock and roll
the last stop on the bus out of town

the numbered streets of my home town
only dead ends and the smell of depression
the road out of town was paved
by rebellion plus obsession

future redneck with one foot in the past
and one foot in freedom and mystery
a rebel without enough to do
drinking beer and sniffing glue
saved by rock and roll
the last stop on the bus out of town

red, white, and blue
searching for the truth
the only way out is to disappear

red, white, and blue
sign my name on the dotted line
now I think its time to disappear

all the things that went on my permanent record
never really mattered, did they then?
if you don’t burn out, then you rust
stand still too long, and you’ll collect dust

future redneck with one foot in the past
and one foot in freedom and mystery
a rebel without enough to do
drinking beer and sniffing glue
saved by rock and roll
the last stop on the bus out of town
