Lyrics

Never Do as I’m Told

I never said I was perfect.
No, so far from it. Yes it’s true. Yes it’s true.
And I know you think I’m lying to myself.
Truth is I’m lying to all of you.
(Every single last one of you)

And as I roll down the window and pull out into the road.
I’m always reminded I never do as I’m told.

Something will probably kill me someday.
But you know you gotta go somehow, anyway.
But I haven’t hit the bottom and some days I come out on top.
I guess I’ll find out when I punch the clock.

And as I roll down the window, I know I’m really, really hard to hold.
I’m always reminded I never do as I’m told.

Don’t know where I’m going, but I’ll know when I’m home.
For now, I just want drive all alone
and listen to Buck Owens.
And feel sorry for myself.
Can’t believe
It’s all come to this.

And as I roll down the window and pull out into the road.
I’m always reminded I never do as I’m told.
And as I roll down the window, I know I’m really, really hard to hold.
I’m always reminded I never do as I’m told.
