Makin' My Way Lyrics - Singles - Ray Scott

Yeah, I'm gonna tell you all like it is 

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 never 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, yeah, I'm makin' my way 

Kick it in now, oh, play that thing 

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 never 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 

No, I don't, but I'm makin' my way, yeah, I'm makin' my way 

I know how my bed is made, that's right
