The business card in the picture is the only evidence I have that our high school band actually existed (looking for more!), so I wrote this song before we all forgot ... after 30 years, damn we are old!

Lyrics
RENEGADE (2009) (words/music: B. Walter) Mike Jakle called me up in 78 And I did not hesitate I showed up in the morning with an ax in my hand We set up all the amps and the mike stands And I found myself a rock and roll band In a couple of weeks we played our first gig When the crowd went nuts we thought we made it big We drank up all the profits by the bayou that night Playin our guitars by the fire light And everyone there was feelin alright CHORUS 1 Renegade was a rock and roll band Sergio played his bass left hand Wed do any gig where money was paid When Friday rolled around another party was made By the rock and roll sound of Renegade It all just came and took us by storm We had groupies in the hot tub keeping us warm We played Zeppelin, Skynyrd, Arrowsmith and Tull Makin lots of noise wherever wed go Playin anything that passed for rock and roll CHORUS 2 Renegade was our rock and roll band Lucci hit the drums bout as hard as you can Wed play anywhere so long as we got paid Every Saturday night another party was made By the rock and roll sound of Renegade Renegade - Renegade - Renegade - Renegade CHORUS 3 Renegade was a rock and roll band David hit the highest notes known to man In the midday sun wed set up in the shade When the keg was tapped a party was made By the rock and roll sound of Renegade When we packed away the gig at the high school dance But start another party if we had the chance At night we were jammin and feelin so high Go to bed in the morning with the sun in our eyes And wake up when the moon rose up in the sky CHORUS 4 Renegade was our rock and roll band Matt ripped the SG, whammy bar in his hand The folks let us play if we made our grades On Saturday night everybody swayed To the rock and roll sound of Renegade CHORUS 5 Renegade was our rock and roll band Ana helped pack away the mike stands Tori kept us rockin on our crusade Every Saturday night another party was made By the rock and roll sound of Renegade Renegade - Renegade - Renegade - Renegade
