So the highway is where I believe I belong Losing myself in the soul of a song And the fight for the right to be righteously wrong It's a story that's sad but it's true
So I sing my own songs And I drink when I'm thirsty And I will go on Making music, and whiskey, And love for as long As the spirit inside me Says you don't tell me what to do
Gone are the reasons for changing my mind Gone like the future that I left behind If you want to I warn you You're wasting your time You don't tell me what to do
