(J. Jett/R. Byrd/R. Browde)

Johnny, Johnny I was by your side
I'm looking for a ride, told me you won't be denied
You want a taste of everything

Your going too fast, you're gonna crash
But you know you'll survive
So much to fight for
Lots of flags to wave
A rebel without a cause
You've got so much to say

Tell me how you feel
Tell me what you see
Ridin' with James Dean
Ridin' with James Dean (Jimmy Dean)

You want the world to go your way
But you'd better find that I can be your kind
But it's O.K.
Things are happening that you don't understand
But don't you worry you know I'll be there
To hold your hand
Got so much to die for
Or even more to live for
Don't you crash and burn
You got so much to give

Tell me how you feel
Tell me what you see
Ridin' with James Dean
Ridin' with James Dean (Jimmy Dean)

Tell me how you feel
Tell me what you see
Ridin' with James Dean
Ridin' with James Dean (Jimmy Dean)

So much to fight for
Lots of flags to wave
A rebel without a cause
You've got so much to say
C'mon say it

Tell me how you feel
Tell me what you see
Ridin' with James Dean
Ridin' with James Dean (Jimmy Dean)
