Lyric It Works For Me
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
