Select language to translate this lyric
Yeah, I was born down in Dixie
And I grew up in the South
Listening to good music
And thatâs whatâs Iâm all about
All I wanted was a guitar, the road
And a good drink of liquor
There wasnât but one thing for me to be
And thatâs a renegade picker
And Iâm a renegade picker
Partly hippie and partly kicker
Been around, been around
I may never settle down
And when I was a little boy
They used to make me go to school
But they soon give me up
For a guitar fool
And all the little girlâs mamaâs
They used to drive me from the door
Theyâd say Honey we donât want
That boy around no more
Heâs just a renegade picker
Partly hippie, partly kicker, too
Heâll get around, get around
But he wonât never settle down
Well Iâve played all your honky tonks
From Texas to Alabamâ
Well Iâve seen me some hard times
But Iâve been up more than down
Though there were sometimes people
With a gun or a knife
But when they heard me sing
I guess that saved my life
It saved a renegade picker
Partly hippie partly kicker too
Yeah let him go, let him go
Want to hear him sing some more
