Young Rebel Minds

A couple of cigarettes, a quarter tank of gas

A twenty-dollar bill, guess we're headin' down south

Pawned my guitar, you sold some grass

Once we'd crossed the border we'd see what it's all about

Flags flew half-mast in the New York sky

People grew wary of strangers passin' by

But we knew we'd get high, just around the bend

I still remember you were smiling back then

Young rebel minds, riding easy

Gold candid times and no worries

The car broke down in Brownsville Texas

Packed our bags and hoped for the best

Kings in the evenings, vagabonds in the mornings

Spent all our fortune to keep those beers a-comin'

Folks back there, thought we were lookin' for trouble

You got into this fight we had to run for our lives

We were ragged and reckless under southern Texas sky

No one could ever tell us that we couldn't fly

Young rebel minds, riding easy

Gold candid times and no worries

We had no choice, hell we had no wheels

Walked across that bridge, made it down to Matamoros

Two one-way tickets as far as we could go

Where we'd end up, hell we didn't know

We met a girl, she was a wounded soldier

Livin' off the army's dime

Paid for the room, then she paid for the wine

She would never be yours, never be mine

Young rebel minds, riding easy

Gold candid times and no worries

It's been a while

Since i've seen you

I was passin' by, just passin' by

It's been a while

Since i've seen you

I was passin' by, just passin' by

I was passin' by, just passin' by
