[Verse 1]
I packed the car and said goodbye
Felt a tear fall from my eye
You'll be fine and I'll keep doing what I do till it feels right
Oh 'cause

[Chorus]
I'm a rebel child
Wild and free like the air that raised me
Too headstrong to be tied down
'Cause I'm a rebel child
Hiding from the ones who wanna save me
If you build a fence I'll go around
Forever runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Forever runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Like a rebel child

[Verse 2]
I've never settled, I never will
Got no intentions of sittin' still
Some call me restless and unsatisfied
But I know who I am

[Chorus]
I'm a rebel child
Wild and free like the air that raised me
Too headstrong to be tied down
'Cause I'm a rebel child
Hiding from the ones who wanna save me
If you build a fence I'll go around
Forever runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Forever runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Like a rebel child
Oh, like a rebel child, oo
[Bridge]
Don't wait up, I won't be back
And if you know me at all, you know that

[Chorus]
I'm a rebel child
Wild and free like the air that raised me
Too headstrong to be tied down
'Cause I'm a rebel child
Hiding from the ones who wanna save me
If you build a fence I'll go around
Forever runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Forever runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Like a rebel child
Oh, like a rebel child, oo
