I am the story of a man
Who makes his way on his own
Don't need no kind of direction from no one
I got myself a pretty old soul

Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live

I am a giant of a man
I do what I please
I have respect for all that's around me and expect the same for me
So go ahead do what you want
Whatever your release
I'm just looking for a little quiet and my very own kind of peace

Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live

I'm gonna soar like an eagle
My wings will carry me away
I got the heart of a lion
And I get stronger everyday

I like the finer things in life
At least what's fine to me
I got music and people to love and that sure does suit my needs
Sitting in the sun with my favorite song and a little bit of weed

Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
