Wild rebel rose, the kids used to tease you Wild rebel rose, every time see you In those black turtlenecks in mid July too much makeup 'round your eyes
Wild rebel rose, I didn't know you Wild rebel so I never told you How I'd watch from the house across the When those blue lights came around At least three times a week
It's hard anyone to understand Why at sixteen you just up and ran They didn't you only knew your daddy's love Like the back of his hand (*)
I heard the shots, saw hit the door I snuck in and grabbed that pistol off the floor Don't you worry they won't find it that's for sure
Wild rose, the kids used to you Wild rebel rose, every time they'd see you In those black turtle necks in mid July Wearing too much makeup 'round eyes
Hmm, oh, wild, wild, wild rebel rose They didn't know, ooh, yeah, hmm
