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 Can't Be That Much To It
Even If I Found My Pot Of Gold
I Know I'd Piss Right Through It

I Can't Remember Ever Wanting
For One Second Of My Life
Even If I Did It Cost Too Much
To Ever Pay The Price
I Don't Dance Out On The Dark Side
Ain't No Secrets I Have To Tell
So You Don't Have To Say A Prayer For Me
I Just Said One For Myself

Chorus:
I'm Livin' My Life
Under My Terms
I'm Callin' The Shots
As Far As I Can See
I Don't Owe Nobody Nothin'
I Don't Answer To A Soul
Might Not Work For You
But It Works For Me

I've Been Bent And Bruised And Broken
And Flat Busted Once Or Twice
I Brought Most Of It Upon Myself
But I Never Compromised
My Pride's Too Hard To Swallow
So I've 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 It's So Good In The City
Why Don't Anybody Smile?
The Traffic's Always Heavy
And The Air Ain't Fit To Breathe
I Ain't Saying That It's Wrong For You
It Just Don't Make Sense To Me

Chorus
