Makin' My Way - Ray Scott

I never counted on nepotism

It wasn't all laid out for me

I started off from a crawl

And worked my way up to my knees

I know one way of doin' things

I come from that side of life

Where folks don't bathe in the morning

They take their baths at night

At the end of a long hard day

But I'm makin' my way

I like to roll with similar souls

On any given Friday night

And I know there ain't much

Redemption in drinkin' beer and tellin' lies

But it's a damn good way for a

Good ol' boy to know he ain't alone

And forget the pile of BS he

Put up with all week long

And when the boys ask

Me how I am I say

I'm makin' my way

Yeah and I ain't ever caught the

View from the window of a king

But the common man don't tend

To miss what he ain't ever seen

Yeah and I ain't got it bad as some

But then again I ain't quite got it made

But I'm makin' my way

I'm makin' my way

Kingdom

You know there's a whole lot of

Able-bodied takers out

There in that welfare line

But you can bet ol' Uncle Sam

Ain't wipin' this boy's behind

Ain't no government cheese on my plate

I'm makin' my way

Yeah and I ain't ever caught the

View from the window of a king

But the common man don't tend

To miss what he ain't ever seen

Yeah and I ain't got it bad as some

But then again I ain't quite got it made

But I'm makin' my way

I'm makin' my way

I know how my bed is made
