Make Your Own Way

Born and raised in a one dog town
That never took a chance or a dare
The times kept a changin but it all passed em by The prejudices in the air
Drove me to cocaine eyes by the age of one five
Kept my momma walking the floor
But I had to draw the line for the very last time
She kicked my ass out the door
It aint always easy when youre living hand to mouth
The more you put in, the less you get out
It aint always easy when youre living day to day
It aint always easy when youre tryin to make your own way
Make your own way
When lifes a little hard on you
Make yor own way
Nobodys gonna die for you
I remember rollin dice on the run
Looking for a winning hand
We never stop to wonder at the wonders passing by Just searchin for the promised land
We met a mean old man
Who dealt a dirty hand
Promised we could touch the sky
But the devils his friend
He put the pen in my hand
Said you can pay me back after you die
It aint always easy when youre living hand to mouth
The more you put in, the less you get out
It aint always easy when youre living day to day
