[Verse 1]
Dm G Dm G
It's a hard world to get a break in
Dm G Dm G
All the good things have been taken
Dm C Bb C
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
Dm C Bb
Though I'm dressed in these rags I'll wear sable
C D
Some day
Hear what I...
[Pre-Chorus]
G F G
say I'm gonna ride the serpent
F G F
No more time spent sweatin' rent

Hurt you sometime
F G
But someday I'll treat you real fine
[Verse 2]
Dm G Dm G
There'll be women and their fortunes
Dm G Dm G
Who just love to mother orphans
Dm C Bb C
Are you gonna cry, when I'm squeezin' 'em dry
Dm C Bb
Takin' all I can get, no regrets
C D
When I...
[Pre-Chorus]
G F
Openly lie
G F
And leave only money

Believe me honey, that money

Can you believe, I ain't no saint

Any doubt

[Outro]
C Dm F G
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) Don't push me
C Dm F G
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) It's my life
C Dm F G
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) And I can do what I want
C Dm F G
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) You can't tell me
C Dm F G
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But, girl, there are ways to make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags, I'll wear sable some day
Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride the serpent
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
Holdin' me down
Stick around
But baby (Baby)
Remember (Remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine
There'll be women and their fortunes
Who just want to mother orphans
Are you gonna cry when I'm squeezin' the rye?
Takin' all I can get, no regrets
When I openly lie
And leave only money
Believe me, honey, that money
Can you believe I ain't no saint
No complaints
So, girl, go out
Hand it out
And baby (Baby)
Remember (Remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) Don't push me
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) It's my life
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) And I can do what I want
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) You can't tell me
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
