I'm a self made man, don't you forget it It's just me, myself and I Spent my life, diggin' for treasure If I ain't got it just give me time I got everything a man could ever need Just as far as your pretty eyes can see I'm proud to be born a 55'er I've been around the block a time or two No matter where I sit I'm the driver So who are you to tell me what to do You want another drink, hey bartender Set her up, with more of the same The think is darlin', let's not pretend that Tomorrow I'll remember your name Well I'm footloose and fancy free Maybe that's why she married me I'm proud to be born a 55'er I've been around the block a time or two
No matter where I sit I'm the driver So who was she to tell me what to do When I met my woman I wasn't thinkin' But things look better when a man's been drinking I traded her in for a new mercedes And that's how it is with all my ladies She got the kids, I got the business But all my money can't buy forgiveness I got everything a man could ever need But sometimes I miss her laying next to me I'm proud to be born a 55'er I've been around the block a time or two No matter where I sit I'm the driver So who are you to tell me what to do I've got everything I need except a clue
