Lyrics
[Verse 1] Got my boots up on the railing, beer bottle in my hand Daddy's yellin' from the kitchen 'bout his master plan Says I need to cut my hair and find a real job But I'd rather play guitar than kiss his boss's (laugh) [Chorus] I'm a porch light rebel, ain't gonna change Singin' my songs while the neighbors complain Turn it up loud, let the music play I'm a porch light rebel and I'm stayin' this way Porch light rebel, that's me Porch light rebel, wild and free [Verse 2] Mama says I'm twenty now, time to settle down Find a girl and buy a house on the other side of town But I got dreams bigger than this holler can hold And a heart too young to do what I'm told [Chorus] I'm a porch light rebel, ain't gonna change Singin' my songs while the neighbors complain Turn it up loud, let the music play I'm a porch light rebel and I'm stayin' this way Porch light rebel, that's me Porch light rebel, wild and free [Bridge] When the sun goes down and the stars come out That's when I know what life's about Just me and my guitar under that old porch light Livin' my truth every single night [Chorus] I'm a porch light rebel, ain't gonna change Singin' my songs while the neighbors complain Turn it up loud, let the music play I'm a porch light rebel and I'm stayin' this way Porch light rebel, that's me Porch light rebel, wild and free Porch light rebel, that's me
