Contrary To Ordinary

I never live my life through other people’s eyes
I guess I’ve always been the one they said was
Too tall, too late, too early
Yeah, he’s the one
You ought to be in the circus
You’re having too much fun
Just a one-man band, a one man gypsy circus
Finding out each piece of the puzzle has a purpose
Drifting and dreaming
Yeah, that must be my fate
Always grinning down the devil’s throat
Blazing with aces and eights
And I was contrary to ordinary
Even as a child
Fast freights made me wonder
The full moon still drives me wild
And stories do come true
You just got to live your life in episodes
With one eye on a lady
And one eye still on that open road
And when I die don’t put no tombstone on my grave
Just have my friends throw a great big party
Toss my ashes out across the waves
Don’t bring no preacher man down
Just to tighten up my past
Just tell 'em how I like to live
I like to make sing and dance and laugh
And I was contrary to ordinary
Even as a child
Fast freights made me wonder
Full moons still drive me wild
And stories do come true
If you live your life in episodes
With one eye on a lady
And one eye on that open road
