I am the story of a man
Who makes his way on his own
Don't need no kind of direction from no one
I got myself a pretty old soul

Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live

I am a giant of a man
I do what I please
I got respect for all that's around me and expect the same for me
So go ahead do what you want
Whatever your release
I'm just looking for a little quiet and my very own kind of peace

Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live

I'm gonna soar like an eagle
My wings will carry me away
I got the heart of a lion
And I get stronger everyday

I like the finer things in life
At least what's fine to me
I got music and people to love and that sure does suit my needs yeah
Sitting in the sun with my favorite song and a little bit of weed

Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live

I'm gonna soar like an eagle
My wings will carry me away
I got the heart of a lion
And I get stronger everyday

I'm gonna soar like an eagle
My wings will carry me away
I got the heart of a lion
And I know what kind a man I am

I'm gonna do it right
I'm gonna do it right
Oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
