There's a mist over Broadway

Breathing cool sheets of rain

Lights his last cigarette

And turns his back to the wind

She says, baby, I don't know

Just how to explain

And I can't see the sense

And I can't play this game

But he's not even listening

He stares at the ground

And she won't ever know

What was on his mind

Well, now he's a rebel without a cause

Hey c'mon, let's make a deal

See your name in lights just like Jimmy Dean

Live and die behind the wheel

Opened out on the highway

Leaving her far behind

There's a star down on sunset

He says, yeah, this one's mine

She says, baby, I don't know

Just how to explain

And I can't see the sense

And I can't play this game

But he's not even listening

He stares at the ground

And she won't ever know

What was on his mind

Well, now he's a rebel without a cause

Hey c'mon, let's make a deal

See your name in lights just like Jimmy Dean

Live and die behind the wheel

Well, now Mr D whispered in his ear

Hey c'mon, let's make a deal

Engine's running hot singing Jimmy Dean

Any time there's time to kill

He drove like a demon

And he burned up the screen

But he never looked back no

She just wasted my time

Well, now he's a rebel without a cause

Hey c'mon, let's make a deal

See your name in lights just like Jimmy Dean

Live and die behind the wheel

Gonna let those horses loose again

Hey c'mon, let's make a deal

See them running wild just like Jimmy Dean

Overdrive in chrome and steel

Hey c'mon

Hey c'mon, let's make a deal

Well, now he's a rebel without a cause

Live and die behind the wheel
