But it does take a toll
When you're followed by shadows
From a long time ago
You catch that rebel rag flying
And start to wonder why
After so many dying
It finds wind enough to fly
SO EASE UP ON THE PEDAL
AS YOU EASE ON DOWN THE ROAD
THIS IS ONE SOUTHERN REBEL
THAT HAS NO LINE TO TOE
I WAS BORN FREE
THAT'S HOW I WANT TO STAY
IT'S HIGH TIME THE CONFEDERACY
JOINED THE USA
The Rebels want to rise again
No matter what the cost
They still don't understand
That battle's been fought and lost
You can insist on your reason
Of freedom to fly that rag
But it sure smell like treason
To the union and its flag
SO EASE UP ON THE PEDAL
AS YOU EASE ON DOWN THE ROAD
DON'T BE NO SOUTHERN REBEL
THAT HAS NO LINE TO TOE
YOU WERE BORN FREE
THAT'S HOW SHOULD STAY
IT'S HIGH TIME THE CONFEDERACY
JOINED THE USA
But it sure smell like treason
To the union and its flag
SO EASE UP ON THE PEDAL
AS YOU EASE ON DOWN THE ROAD
DON'T BE NO SOUTHERN REBEL
THAT HAS NO LINE TO TOE
YOU WERE BORN FREE
THAT'S HOW SHOULD STAY
IT'S HIGH TIME THE CONFEDERACY
JOINED THE USA
