Make Your Own Way |
Born and raised in a one dog town |
That never took a chance or a dare |
The times kept a changin' but it all passed 'em by |
The prejudices in the air |
Drove me to cocaine eyes by the age of one five |
Kept my momma walking the floor |
But I had to draw the line for the very last time |
She kicked my ass out the door |
It ain’t always easy when you’re living hand to mouth |
The more you put in, the less you get out |
It ain’t always easy when you’re living day to day |
It ain’t always easy when you’re tryin' to make your own way |
Make your own way |
When life’s a little hard on you |
Make yor own way |
Nobody’s gonna die for you |
I remember rollin' dice on the run |
Looking for a winning hand |
We never stop to wonder at the wonders passing by |
Just searchin' for the promised land |
We met a mean old man |
Who dealt a dirty hand |
Promised we could touch the sky |
But the devil’s his friend |
He put the pen in my hand |
Said you can pay me back after you die |
It ain’t always easy when you’re living hand to mouth |
The more you put in, the less you get out |
It ain’t always easy when you’re living day to day |
It ain’t always easy when you’re tryin' to make your own way |
Make your own way |
When life’s a little hard on you |
Make yor own way |
Nobody’s gonna die for you |
Ah, ah, ah sometimes you gotta walk the straight line |
Ah, ah, ah feel like I’m just doing time |
Ooo, when life gets a little hard |
You gotta gotta ooo make your own way |
Sometimes you gotta make your own way |
Here we go |
Ooo, sing it for 'em now, yeah |
Make your own way |
When life’s a little hard on you |
Make your own way |
Ain’t nobody gonna die for you |
Make your own way |
When life’s a little hard on you |
Make your own way |
Ain’t nobody gonna die for you |
Make your own way |
You gotta gotta make your own way |
Make your own way |
Make your own way |
You gotta make your own way |
Make your own way |
Gotta make your own way |
Make your own way |
