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
