Never owned a brand new car, I never worked in a white collar
I never held a women longer than I held one single dollar
Never went out chasing rainbows cause there can't be that much to it
Even if I found my pot of gold I'd probably [bad word] 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 can tell
so you don't have to say a prayer for me, I just said one for myself

I'm living my life under my terms
I'm calling the shots, as far as I can see
I don't owe nobody nothing
I don't answer to a soul
might not work for you
but it works for me

I've been bent and [bad word] and broken and flat busted once or twice
I brought most of it upon myself but I [bad word] 
my prides too hard to swallow so I chewed a lot of it
mild mannered and soft hearted and hard headed as you get

I live out on the back roads were I walk by country mile
and if its so good in the city why don't anybody smile
why the traffics always heavy and that air ain't fit to breathe
now I ain't saying that its wrong for you, but it don't make sense to me

I'm living my life under my terms
I'm calling the shots as far as I can see
I don't owe nobody nothing
I don't answer to a soul
might not work for you
it might not work for you
but it works for me
