The Mule Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

I could be happy, I could be glad 

I could be carefree, I could be bad 

Life would be worthwhile, I could be true 

I could be me, if it wasn't for you. 

I could be handsome, I could be rich 

I could be really out of this ditch 

Making my fortune, making my bed 

I could let fame go to my head. 

You keep your carrots, I don't want one 

I want my freedom, I want some fun 

Juxtaposition, what did I say 

What a position, I'm in today. 

You are my drawback, you are my pain 

Standing in my way, crowding my brain 

Why be so selfish, I'm just a fool 

Why be so stubborn, you're just a mule.
