[Verse 1] I've got something with me My soul's kind of gritty Now do I lie or run away Engine, engine number nine you get your way or I'll get mine Sure as the sun will shine each day [Pre-Hook] Just like the apple temptress set in I win, you're tackled Shackles on my feet won't let me move Not soft, but supple Come with all you got, my wings won't ruffle Victory is sweet but I ain't scared to lose [Hook] In my house the moon still shines in the day But there's a lot of old bills I gotta pay In my house feel free to dance like it's May But there's a lot of old bills I gotta pay [Verse 2] Momma, can you hear me Papa, I'm sitting pretty Don't have to shun my heart this time I know when it really matters it'll be me alone And regrets will be none [Pre-Hook] + [Hook] [Bridge] I'll be on my own It don't matter, I'm grown I won't be singing no sad song in the land And if I rub you wrong, baby, I'll come on strong I got no mind to cushion what I say [Hook]
