Lyrics

[Verse 1]
High as a kite hiding from a search light
I didn't get home 'til way past midnight
Sneaking through the alley like a hungry dog
I'm not used to living high on the hog
[Chorus]
I don't think you understand
What kind of man I really am
I'm a sinner with a rebel soul
Got a wicked mind with a heart of gold
[Verse 2]
Take me to the station, put me on a train
Before I hit the wall and go insane
There's no telling if I'm ever coming back
Who knows what's waiting down the track
[Chorus]
I don't think you understand
What kind of man I really am
I'm a sinner with a rebel soul
Got a wicked mind with a heart of gold
[Bridge]
I ain't living a lie
I'll tell you why
Yeah, I got my pride
I ain't afraid to die
[Instrumental]
2 AM, I jumped over the wall
Under a barbed wire fence, I had to crawl
But I made it to the Alabama line
Delusions of grandeur in my mind
[Chorus]
I don't think you understand
What kind of man I really am
I'm a sinner with a rebel soul
Got a wicked mind with a heart of gold
I'm a sinner with a rebel soul
Got a wicked mind with a heart of gold
