Live my life, on my own
but when everybody else is gone
my boots will still be there with me
through the victories or defeat
friends will always come and go
but when you’ll be there at a show
they will be by your side when you get into a fight
CHORUS
I DON’T NEED NO ONE TO TELL ME WHAT TO BE
I DON’T NEED NOTHING BUT THE BOOTS ON MY FEET
X2
If you’re not gonna help me grow,
what the hell do I need you for?
If you’re not gonna stand by me,
then start marching on your feet.
Instead of destroying each other,
we should work together
But that’s not what you wanted,
so you left me in the gutter
CHORUS
I DON’T NEED NO ONE TO TELL ME WHAT TO BE
I DON’T NEED NOTHING BUT THE BOOTS ON MY FEET
X2
Lacing up my boots, left! Right! Left! Right!
Go to work, work all week,
Not for you, only me
Don’t want to see any more of you
Don’t care about all the things you do
Everyone’s gone, cant you see?
That it’s all up to me.
