For Once

(альбом: Country Boy's Paradise - 2011)

If I wasted my whole life like I done this far
Would it make you happy to know
I did it your way, well I don't think so
And I don't know who appointed you
The one to tell me my point of view
And I can't bare the lies you tell
Sorry but I wasn't raised that well
So I'll wipe the blood off my knuckles
Comb my hair and fix my clothes
Clean myself up and settle the score
And keep coming back for more-or-or-ore

Ain't nobody gonna tell me what the hell to do
For once, I'm gonna do it my way
I've listened to 'em way too long
So if I fail it'll be my wrong-ong-ong-ong
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how the hell to live
For once I gotta do it my way
And if you don't wanna believe
Then y'all just wait and see-oh-oh-oh

If I had money and a model wife and a brand new car
Would it make you happy to know
I did it your way, well I don't think so
I can't please everybody all the time
And y'all done cluttered up my mind
I aim my truth right at your lies
And I will not apologize
So wipe that look up off of your face
Close your mouth and give me my space
Cuz I don't want what you're looking for
And I deserve a little more-or-or-ore

Ain't nobody gonna tell me what the hell to do
For once, I'm gonna do it my way
I've listened to 'em way too long
So if I fail it'll be my wrong-ong-ong-ong
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how the hell to live
For once I gotta do it my way
And if you don't wanna believe
Then y'all just wait and see-oh-oh-oh

And as the days go by and the nights get longer
And the haters keep a hating and the feelings getting stronger
Telling me what I could have been, spoken like a hypocrite
Tell me what I should be now, like I really give a shit
My life, my ways, my job, my habits is all intent to teach about
You read my dreams, it seem you need to practice what you preach about
I listened to y'all, damn 'em all, and I was wrong a bunch
But I gotta do it, screw it, I'm doing it my way for once

See for once I'm gonna do it my way
For way too long, it'll be my wrong
How to live now
I guess you don't wanna believe
Then y'all just wait and see

Ain't nobody gonna tell me what the hell to do
For once, I'm gonna do it my way
I've listened to 'em way too long
So if I fail it'll be my wrong-ong-ong-ong
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how the hell to live
For once I gotta do it my way
And if you don't wanna believe
Then y'all just wait and see-oh-oh-oh

Ain't nobody gonna tell me what the hell to do
For once, I'm gonna do it my way
I've listened to 'em way too long
So if I fail it'll be my wrong-ong-ong-ong
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how the hell to live
For once I gotta do it my way
And if you don't wanna believe
