I've worked my whole life,

To get ahead and survive,

I tell yah that's one thing that is true,

I take it day to day,

As time flickers away,

But I still won't give in to you


She wants a different life,

Kids and be a wife,

Build a nest to call her own,


But what I want out of life,

Is to have my guitar by my side,

And travel through these lonely roads


And I don't want it,

A simple kind of life,

And I don't need it,

All the things you despise
