The Shellcracker Band - Rebel and Me Lyrics

Growing up the rebel and me
Liked to catch crawdads by the creek
Couldn't find one without the other
Back then those were the days
Not too much trouble we could make
Just a planned getaway from our mother
Later on high school days
The rebel and me both made our ways
He went to drinking but I stayed sober
Tried to bring him on my side of the fence but
None of my words quite could make sense
So I followed him and tipped the bottle over
And all the mistakes we made
Are locked up tight in the history page
And when I look in the mirror I see
The rebel staring back at me
Staring back at me
Nothing changed in our college world
Til I ran into this blue eyed girl
Fell in love at first sight
The rebel he kept up for a while
But he just couldn't resist a smile
So he gave up his heart without a fight
And all the choices we made
Are locked up tight in the history page
And when I look in the mirror I see
The rebel staring back at me
Staring back at me
Where I'll go from here I can't see
But I know he'll be there with me
Cause when I look at myself I see
The rebel was always me
The rebel was always me
He was always me
