Rebel Son is an original honky-tonk/rockabilly band based out of Raleigh, NC. Consisting of guitarist/singer/songwriter Lee Johnson, drummer Tom Warwick & bassist Dave Schneider, REBEL SON delivers an intense set of finely crafted original songs. Their music, in addition to their display of Southern heritage, is, in reality, defining & expressing the thoughts, feelings & occasional unlawful actions & behaviors of "everyday" people living in an "everyday" world.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

EmD As I walk through the woods on a cold winters eve, GB I hear voices far away, it seems so hard to believe, EmD That I hear these conversations with my very own ears, GB Because Im standing all alone, not another soul is near,
A|-3p2---| E|-----3-|
EmD I thought I heard a young boy say "daddy what do we do, GB with these brand new coats of grey, that they've given me and you", EmD He said "boy that coat represents our great southern land, GB so wear it with pride oneday I know you'll understand",
EmD I thought I heard a woman say, "husband I love you, GB I'll be waiting right here to greet you, when the war is through", EmD I heard the man reply, "my dear dont worry I'll be fine, GB I promise I'll be home its just a matter of time",
Chorus: GD Southern wind blow on, through our unforgotten land, AC Here today and yesteryear are reunited once again, GD Here the cry of Confederates lost many years ago, AC Cannons thunder and a lonesesome locomotive whistle blows,
GD Share your pride inside with your fellow rebel souls, AC Hear their stories from beyond the grave, so many left untold, GD Keep dixieland alive in your heart and in your mind, ACGF#mEm Southern wind blows once again and will until the end of time

EmD A heard a fire crackling, far away from where I stood, GB I heard so many southern strangers form a perfect brotherhood, EmD I hear horses rumble, carrying their soldiers off to fight, GB Gunshots pierce the silence of a cold and quiet night,
EmD I hear yelling fade away as a man draws his final breath, GB With his rifle and his honor, he falls down to his death, EmD I hear hell on earth, and battle rage beneath dark eastern skies, GB Brothers telling one another their ultimate goodbyes,

EmD I heard a young boy cry as he fell onto his knees, GB He said "Jesus let my father rest in peace I beg you please", EmD I heard this young boy cry as he took his fathers hand, GB "Daddy now I understand"- and then a boy became a man,
EmD I heard a woman open up her front door all alone, GB She recieves news that her husband will not be returning home, EmD I heard a woman break down and pray to God and scream, GB What I feel it is so real, it's in the air, its not a dream,
