I said I got a life of my own I've got a life of my own I said don't try to make me a part of no plan Take me or leave me alone Freedom's a feeling that few understand I got a life of my own I said I oughta know where to sow my own seeds And when I oughta leave it alone Trouble's an old friend that I didn't need then And I had a wife of my own I said I got a life of my own Oh, I've got a life of my own I caught a beer bottle flat in the face It laid me back to the bone Hate is a flavor that's ugly to taste I had a knife of my own Now they leave me alone and alive by myself Lost in the steel and the stone Hoping for heaven and headin' for hell I got a life of my own I said I got a life of my own I got a life of my own I got a life of my own I got a life of my own
