The Last Rebel
Composer(s): Gary Rossington - Johnny Van Zant - Robert White Johnson - Michael Lunn
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd



There's a grey horse standin' still 
As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride 
The rain pours off his hat 
You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes 

Now the cannons are silent 
His friends are all gone, gotta put it all behind him 
If he ever wants to find his way home 
He's the last rebel on the road

Just a boy with his old guitar 
Keeps to himself, but everybody takes him wrong 
But he carried on, got a dream that will never die 
Can't change him 
No use in staying where you don't belong

Now he's rollin' down the highway 
Gone too far too fast 
No one will ever find him 
He'll never look back 

'Cause he's the last rebel 
And he's all alone, he's the last rebel 
His friends are all gone 
He's the last rebel, the last rebel on the road

There'll never be another like him 
He's the last of a dyin' breed 
Ain't no use tryin' to change him 
'Cause he's the last rebel 
And he's all alone, he's the last rebel 
His friends are all gone 
He's the last rebel, the last rebel on the road
