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
