I never cared about the car I'd drive
F
Or the room I'd sleep or the bus I'd drive
Just as long as I could get somewhere

F C F
I know I could be free out there, could be me, hmm-hmm
C
I never cared about the word 'Prestige'
F
About no inside track or no 'noblesse oblige'
Just as long as I could pay my way

And pull my weight and say my say
F C F
As long as I could pay my way, I could say, hmm-hmm

C F
Once designed to bring me down, ooh, ooh, ooh
