This is the third version of 'Super Rebel' played faster and with a little more rocking edge to it!
Christopher Michael Bradley
Story behind the song
Actually the idea of this song came from a photograph idea I once had. I wanted a special picture for a CD I was going to make that had alot of songs with southern influence and was thinking of a rather comical image of a man standing in a heroic pose wearning a Confederate flag as his cape, a Superman logo spray painted on his chest, wearing an Earnhardt cap, and drinking a beer. I told myself that there was a song in that image somewhere and BOOM..."Super Rebel" was born!
Lyrics
He's got a rebel flag used for his cape
And an "R" kryloned to his chest
With an Earnhardt cap and a Bud in his hand
The smell of beer heavy on his breath
He ain't too good at flight he gets whooped in a fight
But his powers show up best
When it's party time and the girls are fine
Is when he puts them all to the test
They call him Super Rebel
And he fights for you and me
Defending this whole world
With southern hospitality
Doing what he can for every man
And they're right to do as they please
They call him Super Rebel
And a rebel's gonna live free
He has the manners of ten drunk rednecks
And about half that much charm
And if you watched the way he carries himself
You'd think that he was raised in a barn
Well he's rude, he's crude, he's a partying fool
Late at night 'til the lights go out
Somebody stares and stands saying "who's that man?"
And the whole crowd starts to shout
They call him Super Rebel
And he fights for you and me
Defending this whole world
With southern hospitality
Doing what he can for every man
And they're right to do as they please
They call him Super Rebel
And a rebel's gonna live free
What's that up in the sky?
Is it a bird or is it a plane?
It's just Super Rebel with his headset on
Listenin' to "Liza Jane"
They call him Super Rebel
And he fights for you and me
Defending this whole world
With southern hospitality
Doing what he can for every man
And they're right to do as they please
They call him Super Rebel
And a rebel's gonna live free
They call him Super Rebel
And a rebel's gonna live free
