I'm not a freack I've met a thousand pricks My baby said you gotta stay home I took my guitar and i was gone I know the rules One day you win The next you lose Another chapter of the book This is my life the one i choose You can run And you can fall down You're living on both sides of a knife Nothing' s free in this world When you write your own way The story of a dedicated life When i was a young gun The biggest kick i ever done Was doing music for fun Ain't no fuckin' competition But i've lost my soul Into the dark unknown Now i know i've found myself again A better way to make a livin' You can run And you can fall down You're living on both sides of a knife Nothing' s free in this world When you write your own way The story of a dedicated life I drive a lucky car Don't look in the mirror Who's gonna follow me? It's a risky road For a loaded heart I've seen a falling star I gotta follow it You can run And you can fall down You're living on both sides of a knife Nothing safe in this world If you cross the line Don't think you could be the one Life goes on You can run You can fall down Livin' on both sides of a knife Let's make life a good day And death a bad night The story of a dedicated life
