When you wake up where you don't belong
In a lame *** town with nothing going on
Nothing to do and nowhere to go
I'd much rather be playing rock n' roll

Take me away
I want to live my life
As a rock and roll renegade
Don't take me home
It's nowhere to me

I'll bring my loved ones with me
I've got something to tell the world
I won't give it up just for a girl
Get me on a plane so I can get away
Because I want to live my life
As a rock and roll renegade

These times out here, they aren't for me
Playing rock 'n roll is where I need to be
Gotta get away and leave it all behind
'Cause rock 'n roll's what I define

Dada, nana
I know I'm right, just wait and see
Rock 'n roll will set me free

So now we're out in Hollywood
Doing everything we said we would
Don't care about a thing in the world
Just gotta find that special girl

Wait a minute
I think I've changed my mind
Renegade till the day I die
Never, never, never, never, never again
I don't need you, I'm my own best friend
