Intro

  ( and just bass notes)

Verse

I'm a man, a man of simple pleasures

I got all I need, so give me whiskey measures

With dyslexic eyes, seeing very clearly

By the way, I'm on my way

But all of my life, I've been treated like a fool

But I'm no one's fool

Chorus

Here I go once again, they're trying hard to pretend

There's a future in your man made rules

I'll be governed by the road, get to shed this heavy load

 I see no future, so leave me alone in the past

(repeat two times, and bass notes)

Verse 2

I am told, the world is nearly ending

But when I look outside, the birds are always singing

You throw sticks and bones

Remember every dog will have its day, I'm on my way

But all of my life, I've been treated like a fool

 But I'm no one's fool

Chorus

Here I go once again, they're trying hard to pretend

There's a future in your man made rules

I'll be governed by the road, get to shed this heavy load

 I've seen your future, so leave me alone in the past

 Go on, let the righteous guide you home to where you belong

 I'll stay, dancin´ to my favorite tunes, that's where I belong

You won't take me for a ride

I'm far too fast for you to keep up with me

You won't take me for a ride

You never catch them and you need no money

You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride

You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride

Outro
