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
