Lyric
Never owned a brand new carNever worked in a white collarNever held a woman longerThan I held one single dollarI never went out chasin’ rainbows‘Cause there can’t be that much to itEven if I found my pot of goldI know I’d piss right through itI can’t remember ever wantingFor one second of my lifeEven if I did it cost too muchTo ever pay the priceI don’t dance out on the dark sideain’t no secrets I have to tellSo you don’t have to say a prayer for meI just said one for myselfI’m livin’ my lifeUnder my termsI’m callin’ the shotsAs far as I can seeI don’t owe nobody nothin’I don’t answer to a soulMight not work for youBut it works for meI’ve been bent and bruised and brokenAnd flat busted once or twiceI brought most of it upon myselfBut I never compromisedMy pride’s too hard to swallowSo I’ve chewed a lot of itMild-mannered and soft-heartedAnd hard-headed as you getI live out on the backroadsWhere I walk my country mileAnd if it’s so good in the cityWhy don’t anybody smile?The traffic’s always heavyAnd the air ain’t fit to breatheI ain’t saying that it?s wrong for youIt just don’t make sense to meI’m livin’ my lifeUnder my termsI’m callin’ the shotsAs far as I can seeI don’t owe nobody nothin’I don’t answer to a soulMight not work for youBut it works for me
