makin my way written by ray scott phillip moore aj masters 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 chorus yeah and i ain t ever 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 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 repeat chorus yeah i m makin my way i know how my bed is made 2005 jethropolitunes criddle street music laluna tunes aj masters music
