goin' my own way

gives me a thrill

until i take a spill

oh, what a kill

goin' my own way

i have to flag a ride

out to the end of the road

where i've already died



but if you pick me up

you'll need to dust me off

'cuz i'm low down, dirty

good for nothing' i thought

yeah, if you pick me up

you'll need to carry me

'cuz i'm damaged, naked

blind, i cannot see

no i cannot see



goin' my own way

it's such a colorful ride

where my heart

spells out my crimes

in living black and white

goin' my own way

i can't get my fill

i need to know your will

i need to know your will



'cuz it's a crowded road

it's a lost highway

where you still carry your load

at the end, at the end,

at the end of the day

but if i take your trail

i can lose that weight

shed it off, shake it out

move it on, move it out

get it off, get it out



if i take your trail

i'm bound to fail

in the eyes of this world

where what a man does

is what a man's worth

but it's worth it all

if i can look you in the face

at the end of this road

at the end of this place

i may bust my butt

they may say i'm nuts

but i'm nuts for you

i'm nuts for you

if it's what you'd have me to do

i'll be a nut for you
