Don't have a lot but with me that's fine.

Whatever I got, well, I know it's mine.

I don't go around with the local crowd.

The boat that I row won't get there soon.

Well, I've got the love if you've got the notion.

Ain't nobody in my life can tell me what to say.

I choose my own side and I like it that way.

I don't worry about all the things I'm not.

There's only one thing I want I ain't got.
