Renegade Picker

Steve Young

© Golden Chain Music, BMI

Yeah I was born down in Dixie and I grew up in the South
Listening to good music and that's what's I'm all about
All I wanted was a guitar the road and a good drink of liquor
There wasn't but one thing for me to be and that's a renegade picker

I'm a renegade picker partly hippie partly kicker
Been around been around I may never settle down

And when I was a little boy they used to make me go to school
But they soon give me up for a guitar fool
All the little girl's mamas they used to drive me from the door
They'd say honey we don't want that boy around no more

He's just a renegade picker partly hippie partly kicker too
He'll get around get around but he won't never settle down naw
[ instrumental ]
Well I've played all your honky tonks from Texas to Alabam
Well I've seen me some hard times but I've been up more than down
Though there were sometimes people with a gun or a knife
But when they heard me sing I guess that saved my life

It saved a renegade picker partly hippie partly kicker too
Yeah let him go let him go wanna hear him sing some more yeah
