I've got to get back there today

I don't wanna be like other people are
I want it to be free, I thought that I was right
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
Thought that I was right
Take my hand
Don't wanna have to work like other people do

Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
I don't wanna be like other people are
I don't wanna be like other people are

I want it to be free, I want it to be true
I lie awake at night or wait until it's light
I don't wanna be like other people are
...
Became the man that I wanted to be
Don't steal my crown before it's won
And don't let go
Thought that I was right
I've drank in every bar in town
I saw the things I wanted to see

And let it flow
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Trust this man
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car

Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I've filled my cup when I was down

Will turn my way, the sky will not be gray
But then somehow I lost my way
Thought that I was right
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
Trust this man
I don't wanna be like other people are
And let it flow
Don't take me down 'cause I'm not done

The wide expanse, the wheel of chance
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
I want it to be free, I want it to be true
