Lyrics

Won’t commit no crimes but I break some rules
Color outside the lines and try to be cool
Mediocre at mischief the older I get
Stay away from the cliff ‘cause I start to fret

I wanna live on the edge and try to be free
But the rebel in me is afraid to breathe

I drink java black but it’s half decaf
Drive five over limit, never more than that
I got off-road tires on my SUV
But she don’t leave the pave, stays pretty clean

I wanna live on the edge and try to be free
But the rebel in me is afraid to breathe
I wanna live on the edge, I wanna be free
But the rebel in me is afraid....to breathe

I’m a wee bit wild, a calculation of crazy
A test run of rowdy, a careful carefree
I’m a little laid back on the brink of boldly
And I wanna break free, I wanna break free!

Wanna go on the road with nowhere to go
Just a journey ahead, a bag and a coat
Unwind in the wind on a river boat
And hunker on down ‘till a new day broke
No turn-in time, or wake-up groan
Just a strong cup o’ coffee then a coke and a rum
I’ll breeze through the field to the west alone
Then circle on back to my Hoosier home (slow then hold)

I wanna live on the edge and try to be free
But the rebel in me is afraid to breathe
I wanna live on the edge, I wanna be free
But the rebel in me is afraid....to breathe

Can you learn to be free or does it come naturally
If we can kill fear then we’re bound to be
But the worst-case scenario comes to mind
So we don’t take a chance and our eyes stay blind

I wanna live on the edge and try to be free
But the rebel in me is afraid to breathe
I wanna live on the edge, I wanna be free
But the rebel in me is afraid....to breathe
