They say that I’m just lazy

That I don’t have a job, that I might even rob

Cause I’m roaming around, on the wrong side of town and I’m trying to get by, cause I eat on the fly and I live on the lam, by the seat of my pants but I won't

And I don’t give a damn if you don’t understand

Cause I am a man and I do what I can

So I don’t and I won’t

Cause it's all up to me and I’ll do as a please

But I could and I should

But I won't

They say I should stop drinking

Cause I’m making my own and I’m drinking alone

I live in a shack with a still in the back

Got corn in the sack and a gun on the rack

And I do give a shit if I don’t get a hit

But I won't and I don’t

Give a damn what you say never did anyway

And I don’t and I won't

Cause it’s all up to me and I’ll do as I please

And I should, and I could

But I won't

They say that I’m just crazy

Cause I run from the law

And my feet are so sore

Staying on e step ahead

Always looking for bread

And I rule by my fists

Always last on the list

Cause I made a pact

With the world on my back

Left my blood on the tracks

And I ain’t going back

No I won't

Cause I am a man and I do what I can

So I won't, and I don’t

Cause it’s all up to me and I’ll do as I please

And I should and I could

But I won't
