[Verse 1]

High as a kite hiding from a search light

I didn't get home 'til way past midnight

Sneaking through the alley like a hungry dog

I'm not used to living high on the hog

[Chorus]

I don't think you understand

What kind of man I really am

I'm a sinner with a rebel soul

Got a wicked mind with a heart of gold

[Verse 2]

Take me to the station, put me on a train

Before I hit the wall and go insane

There's no telling if I'm ever coming back

Who knows what's waiting down the track

[Chorus]

I don't think you understand

What kind of man I really am

I'm a sinner with a rebel soul

Got a wicked mind with a heart of gold

[Bridge]

I ain't living a lie

I'll tell you why

Yeah, I got my pride

I ain't afraid to die

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

2 AM, I jumped over the wall

Under a barbed wire fence, I had to crawl

But I made it to the Alabama line

Delusions of grandeur in my mind

[Chorus]

I don't think you understand

What kind of man I really am

I'm a sinner with a rebel soul

Got a wicked mind with a heart of gold

I'm a sinner with a rebel soul

Got a wicked mind with a heart of gold
