It Works For Me

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 Never went out chasin' 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 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 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 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 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 Yeah, might not work for you But it works for me
