You got to hide your soul away

Put it in the woods save it for the grave

You can't expose yourself that way

Put it under lock, lock it from the pain 

You don't owe a thing, you don't have to pay

You don't owe a thing, you can't pay 



You got to rule your own ball game

Follow what you know and throw the rest away

You can't be led around by your fear

Feed it to the vultures, there's a lot of them out there. 



You don't owe a thing, you don't have to pay

You don't owe a thing, you can't pay 



Play on, you don't owe a thing

So play on.
