Reduce speed ahead to fifty-five
little white lines keep me hypnotized
Lord, I can't slow down, i've gotta get through town
But I---I, (Picks up beat)
I don't know where I'm going
But I've been there before
Just a routine night another backstage door
I've been living my life in this rat race maze
Breathing smoke through the light of this fuzzy haze
I dont' care what the people say,
Oh, I'm gonna do it, gonna do it my way.
Solo
Cross the dark sky comes another flash of light
Another clap of thunder echoes in the night
The load is heavy and the road is hard
And the tips aren't steady working bar to bar
I know I've got my dues to pay
and I wake up living them every damn day
I dont' care what the people say,
Oh, I'm gonna do it, gonna do it my way.
Violin Solo
Well, its setting in the west and its headin' to the east
And the night time is waking while the morning sleeps
Look out sun another days gone by, a new moons rising on the other side
People in this business go from rags to riches
But i'm doing just fine with my ole rags and stitches
I know i was born to sing and play, just wanna do my thing on stage
I don't care what the people say,
I'm gonna do it, gonna do it my way
Ohh ohh Ohhhh
Mandolin Solo
