Now I've been askin' since the sun come up   What do you expect from me?   And I've been doin' what everyone tells me   What do you expect from me?      And I'm tired of this, man   I gotta ruin my life on my own   I gotta ruin my life on my own      Now I went down to Old Preacher John   and said what do you expect from me?   I said I've leavin' this life I know, I'm leavin' it all to hell you see   He said but why friend? You got everything you could need, you got everything you could need   And I said, yeah I got everything I need but I got nothing I want   So what do you expect from me?   He said just settle down and find a steady job   What do you expect from me?      I said I can't, man, I gotta ruin my life on my own, I gotta ruin my life on my own, I said I gotta ruin my life on my own
