I GOT A LIFE OF MY OWN

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
