Play by Your Own Rules

Take a hold of the wheel, and turn it for yourself Live like you ain't never gonna lose Choose to be the one who favors kindness over wealth Don't be somebody else's fool You've gotta play by your own rules There's a thin, thin line between the rhymes and the drift Not knowing who's in charge of either one Visions of tomorrow always well within my view Begging me to chase the setting sun Take a hold of the wheel, and turn it for yourself Live like you ain't never gonna lose Choose to be the one who favors kindness over wealth Don't be somebody else's fool You've gotta play by your own rules In a cold, cold storm When the hold is calling you Can't even see the darkness for the rain Steady is the path that'll lead you safely through Don't hurry 'cause you'll get there just the same Take a hold of the wheel, and turn it for yourself Live like you ain't never gonna lose Choose to be the one who favors kindness over wealth Don't be somebody else's fool You've gotta play by your own rules Be a shining light Be a helping hand Be a giving heart Be a patient man Take a hold of the wheel, and turn it for yourself Live like you ain't never gonna lose Choose to be the one who favors kindness over wealth Don't be somebody else's fool You've gotta play by your own rules
