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
