There was this kid in our neighborhood
His Pop had named him Renegade
He lived up to his name

With all the trouble that he made

One day ol' Renegade

Snuck into the Park Theater downtown
For a laugh he set fire to the screen
Burnt the whole damn place to the ground


He thought that no one would mind
He did that sort of thing all the time

But his Pop was waitin' for him

At age fifteen Renegade

Stole a tow truck from Arnie's Shell
Drove it through the front of a hardware store
Spent the night in a county jail


He didn't seem to mind a bit
He liked the attention he would get
