lyrics

He was born and raised too fast, the pride and joy of every class, everybody says, Rebelskin
No surprise when he was four the legend says he was quite old for a boy that age, Rebelskin
The school was far from being sweet, no-one stands authority with a foot in the slums, Rebelskin
Years were gone and all alone, the grown up kid left his home with a case to fight, Rebelskin
He’ll loosen up, his step-father used to say
It must be some passing nutty state

Here comes the story, of the skinny gifted man
And his struggle to survive another town
How he made peace with God and sang about his own rise and fall

Days were gone without a home, and he soon became well-known in the streets, everybody says, Rebelskin
To hang around the music scene, gave his life a real kick, and the family sings, Rebelskin
Friendly Pete and Magic Ray stunned in awe when they noticed the voice of a soul-mate, Rebelskin
Both impressed with the new man in town, Magic Ray asked around
Did you hear what I heard? Rebelskin
He’s caught your eye, Friendly Pete told Ray
Hope is not some passing nutty state

Here comes the story, of the skinny gifted man
And his struggle to survive another town
How he made peace with God and sang about his own rise and fall
