My Whole Life

I've worked my whole life, 
To get ahead and survive, 
I tell yah that's one thing that is true, 
I take it day to day, 
As time flickers away, 
But I still won't give in to you 

She wants a different life, 
Kids and be a wife, 
Build a nest to call her own, 

But what I want out of life, 
Is to have my guitar by my side, 
And travel through these lonely roads 

And I don't want it, 
A simple kind of life, 
And I don't need it, 
All the things you despise
