It Works For Me

I never owned a brand new car, I never worked in a white collar
I never held a woman longer than I held one single dollar
I 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 piss right through it
I can't remember ever wanting for one second of my life
Even if I did, it'd cost too much to ever pay the price
I don't dance out on the dark side, ain't no secrets I can't 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 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 miles
And if it's so good in the city, why don't anybody smile?
All the traffic's always heavy and that air ain't fit to breathe
Now I ain't saying that it's wrong for
You, it just 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, yeah, it might not work for you
But it works for me
