I am the story of a man
Who makes his way on his own
Don't need no kinda direction from no one
I got myself a pretty old soul.
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live

I am a giant of a man
I do what I please
I got respect for all that's around me
And expect the same for me
So go ahead, do what you want
Whatever your release
I'm just looking for a little quiet
And my own kind of peace
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live

[Chorus:]
Oh, I'm gonna soar like an eagle
My wings will carry me away
I got the heart of a lion
And I get stronger everyday

I like the finer things in life
At least what's fine to me
I got music and people to love
That sure does suit my needs, yeah
Singin' that song with my babydoll
And a little bit of weed
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm gonna soar like an eagle
My wings will carry me away
I got the heart of a lion
And I know what kinda man I am
I'm gon' do it 
Right
I'm gonna do it right
Whoa yeah!

Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
