My Own Way

My life has been one big ol' trainwreck
Gamble, eat, drink, smoke, and then head to work
Stumbling home at 8 AM
Getting looks when I pass them
All those good folks headed into church

Oh there is no wonder how I got here
I take the same road every single night
They thought that I'd outgrow
But that was 13 years ago
And now I can't even see the taillights

My own way (My own way)
My own way (My own way)
Got to help forget all yesterday
Well I would take time to pray
But the lord he doesn't pay
It may look like I've been lead astray
But if you don't mind, I gotta head my own way

I'm alright, I just feel numb now
Looking at the bottom through the bottleneck
Oh don't worry I'll be fine
Just need some time, maybe rip a line
Passing by until my next paycheck

My own way (My own way)
My own way (My own way)
Got to help forget all yesterday
Well I would take time to pray
But the lord he doesn't pay
It may look like I've been lead astray
But if you don't mind, I gotta head my own way

Getting into fights and ruin every night
I'll never stop at the red lights, egg on the dog until it bites and
Go my own way

I know it won't be long and they won't miss me when I'm gone
But some will always hum along, you'll hear the echo of my song when I
Go my own way

My own way (My own way)
My own way (My own way)
Got to help forget all yesterday
Well I would take time to pray
But the lord he doesn't pay
So if you don't mind, I gotta head my own way

My own way (My own way)
My own way (My own way)
Got to help forget all yesterday
Well I would take time to say
That this life it doesn't pay
I'm telling you don't you be lead astray
But if you don't mind, I gotta head my own way
