(Gary Rossington - Tom Keifer - Johnny Van Zant)

I've got a sayin' in my life that's got me by so far

Well it mat not be right but, nobody's gonna tell me I'm wrong

The first mistake is leave it up to somebody else

If you want somethin' done you got to do it yourself

I'll do it myself before somebody makes a fool out of me



[Chorus:]

'Cause nothin' comes easy for a man like me

Everybody thinks the best things in life are free

If they would open their eyes it'd be so plain to see

That the best things in life don't come so easily



I met a man who thought just a little bit different from me

He said you got it so easy but I just had to disagree

It would have been alright but he pushed me too far

If your lookin' for trouble step outside of this bar

IF it comes down to fistin', mister that ain't nothin' new to me



[Chorus]



You'll find in this life if there's somethin' that you believe

You got to get your hands dirty when it's somethin' that you really need

If they ever give you somethin' too easily

Can't be too good, 'cause nothin' good's for free

Tell ya' straight from the heart a bed of roses it will never be



[Chorus]
