**** In the brackets ie( ) are little walkdowns in between lines one quick strum on each chord then go into next line. Intro:       (x2) 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      (x2) 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 REPEAT CHORUS

Cette chanson évoque une vie menée selon ses propres choix, sans souci des attentes sociales ou des normes imposées. L’artiste partage ses réflexions sur les expériences de vie, suggérant qu'il n'a jamais ressenti le besoin de courir après des illusions ou de se conformer aux critères matériels. Il préférerait vivre simplement, en harmonie avec lui-même, même s’il a rencontré des épreuves. Le contexte est celui d'une vie authentique et libre, loin des tracas de la société moderne, où l'artiste se sent plus à l'aise sur les routes secondaires que dans le tumulte des villes. Il souligne la valeur de la liberté personnelle et son choix de mener une existence qui, tout en étant peut-être moins conventionnelle, lui convient parfaitement.
