Well, she made her way back to the old town
And everything looked just the same
The shops and the schools and the factories were there
But somehow the faces had changed

So she went for a walk in the High Street
Took her coat off and rolled up her sleeves
She thought of his father and his father before her
And how she was the first one to leave

Well she didn't come here for forgiveness
There isn't a lot they can say
'Cause I remember the reasons she first ran away

SHe's a rebel
Just a rebel
Got her back to the wall
Gonna fight 'til she falls
SHe's a rebel

Don't ever look back - don't surrender
The old men say they've seen it before
Oh they drink their beer and they talk about friends
Who didn't come back from the war

Don't say she's too young to remember
Don't tell her what's wrong or what's right
Just give her a chance to go out there and fight

SHe's a rebel
Just a rebel
All the battles are won
But she's still on the run
SHe's a rebel

When it comes time for leavin'
Don't stand in my way
There's nothin' left for me here
Gonna run, run away

In the morning she walks past the old house
In the rain under gray northern skies
There's a new coat of paint on the front garden gate
But there's more there than first meets the eye

For a moment she stands undecided
Looking back on the days of her youth
As two worlds collide in a moment of truth

SHe's a rebel
