55`er Lyrics - City Of Lost Men - Humming People

I'm a self made man, don't you forget it 

It's just me, myself and I 

Spent my life, diggin' for treasure 

If I ain't got it just give me time 

I got everything a man could ever need 

Just as far as your pretty eyes can see 

I'm proud to be born a 55'er 

I've been around the block a time or two 

No matter where I sit I'm the driver 

So who are you to tell me what to do 

You want another drink, hey bartender 

Set her up, with more of the same 

The think is darlin', let's not pretend that 

Tomorrow I'll remember your name 

Well I'm footloose and fancy free 

Maybe that's why she married me 

I'm proud to be born a 55'er 

I've been around the block a time or two 

No matter where I sit I'm the driver 

So who was she to tell me what to do 

When I met my woman I wasn't thinkin' 

But things look better when a man's been drinking 

I traded her in for a new mercedes 

And that's how it is with all my ladies 

She got the kids, I got the business 

But all my money can't buy forgiveness 

I got everything a man could ever need 

But sometimes I miss her laying next to me 

I'm proud to be born a 55'er 

I've been around the block a time or two 

No matter where I sit I'm the driver 

So who are you to tell me what to do 

I've got everything I need except a clue
