It's my life, God was the one to give it   And I ain't gonna let nobody tell me how to live it   It's my song, right or wrong   You tag along or you can stay behind      They're my troubles   Don't you let them worry you none   'Cause when I signed on to be a man   I, I knew I was gonna have some      Like I say, go or stay either way   You ain't gonna change my life   You ain't gonna change my life      When I'm low down and I'm lazy   And I'm ragged but I'm real   And I ain't never been nobody's pride and joy   Yeah and you can take a boy out of the country   But you can't take the country out of the boy      Well, it's my troubles   Now don't you let them worry you none   'Cause I signed on to be a man   I figured I was gonna have some      Like I say, go or stay either way   You ain't gonna change my life   You ain't gonna change my life      It's my song, right or wrong   You ain't gonna change my life   I said, it's my life   You ain't gonna change my life, oh no
