Keith Toby It Works For Me Lyrics

It Works For Me Lyrics

Never owned a brand new car 

 Never worked in a white collar 

 Never held a woman longer 

 Than I held one single dollar 

 I never went out chasin rainbows 

 Cause there cant be that much to it 

 Even if I found my pot of gold 

 I know Id piss right through it 

 

 I cant remember ever wanting 

 For one second of my life 

 Even if I did it cost too much 

 To ever pay the price 

 I dont dance out on the dark side 

 Aint no secrets I have to tell 

 So you dont have to say a prayer for me 

 I just said one for myself 

 

 Chorus: 

 Im livin my life 

 Under my terms 

 Im callin the shots 

 As far as I can see 

 I dont owe nobody nothin 

 I dont answer to a soul 

 Might not work for you 

 But it works for me 

 

 Ive been bent and bruised and broken 

 And flat busted once or twice 

 I brought most of it upon myself 

 But I never compromised 

 My prides too hard to swallow 

 So Ive chewed a lot of it 

 Mild-mannered and soft-hearted 

 And hard-headed as you get 

 I live out on the backroads 

 Where I walk my country mile 

 And if its so good in the city 

 Why dont anybody smile? 

 The traffics always heavy 

 And the air aint fit to breathe 

 I aint saying that its wrong for you 

 It just dont make sense to me 

 

 Chorus
