Never owned a brand new car
Never worked in a white collar
Never held a woman longer
Than I held one single dollar
I never went out chasin rainbows
Cause there cant be that much to it
Even if I found my pot of gold
I know Id piss right through it
I cant remember ever wanting
For one second of my life
Even if I did it cost too much
To ever pay the price
I dont dance out on the dark side
Aint no secrets I have to tell
So you dont have to say a prayer for me
I just said one for myself
Chorus:
Im livin my life
Under my terms
Im callin the shots
As far as I can see
I dont owe nobody nothin
I dont answer to a soul
Might not work for you
But it works for me
Ive been bent and bruised and broken
And flat busted once or twice
I brought most of it upon myself
But I never compromised
My prides too hard to swallow
So Ive chewed a lot of it
Mild-mannered and soft-hearted
And hard-headed as you get
I live out on the backroads
Where I walk my country mile
And if its so good in the city
Why dont anybody smile?
The traffics always heavy
And the air aint fit to breathe
I aint saying that its wrong for you
It just dont make sense to me
Chorus
