I've worked my whole life, To get ahead and survive, I tell yah that's one thing that is true, I take it day to day, As time flickers away, But I still won't give in to you She wants a different life, Kids and be a wife, Build a nest to call her own, But what I want out of life, Is to have my guitar by my side, And travel through these lonely roads And I don't want it, A simple kind of life, And I don't need it, All the things you despise
