Yeah, might not work for you
As far as I can see
Than I held one single dollar
So you don't have to say a prayer for me
And flat busted once or twice

For one second of my life

It just don't make sense to me

But I never compromised
And hard-headed as you get
I can't remember ever wanting
Ain't no secrets I can tell
And that air ain't fit to breathe

Might not work for you
Even if I did it cost too much
I've been bent and bruised and broken
My pride's too hard to swallow
Might not work for you
I don't answer to a soul
I don't owe nobody nothin'
So I've chewed a lot of it
I never held a woman longer
I just said one for myself
The traffic's always heavy
Why don't anybody smile?
Now I ain't saying that, "It's wrong for you"
To ever pay the price
But it works for me
Never went out chasin' rainbows
I'm livin' my life under my terms
And if it's so good in the city
Even if I found my pot of gold
I'm livin' my life under my terms
But it works for me

I live out on the backroads
I'm callin' the shots
I don't owe nobody nothin'
'Cause there can't be that much to it
I don't dance out on the dark side
I'd probably piss right through it
I brought most of it upon myself
I don't answer to a soul
Where I walk my country mile
As far as I can see
Mild-mannered and soft-hearted
I'm callin' the shots
