Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Never owned a brand new car never worked in a white collar
Never held a woman longer than I held one single dollar
Never went out chasin' rainbows cause there can't be that much to it
Even if I found my pot of gold I'd probably piss right through it
(--)
I can't remember ever wanting for one second of my life
(--)
Even if I did it cost too much to ever pay the price
(--)
I don't dance out on the dark side ain't no secrets I can tell
So you don't have to say a prayer for me, I just said one for myself
Chorus
I'm livin' my li--fe under my terms
I'm callin' the shots as far as I can see
I don't owe nobody nothin' I don't answer to a soul
Might not work for you, but it works for me
I've been bent and bruised and broken and flat busted once or twice
I brought most of it upon myself but I never compromised
My pride's too hard to swallow so I've chewed a lot of it
Mild mannered and soft hearted and hard headed as you get
(--)
I live out on the backroads where I walk my country mile
(--)
And if it's so good in the city why don't anybody smile
(--)
The traffic's always heavy and the air ain't fit to breathe
I ain't saying that it's wrong for you it just don't make sense to me
