I've had the blues and I had the breaks I had a million dollars just a little too late But I stood up - For what I believed in I ain't never gettin' down on my bended knee To kiss the ass of the powers that be And I ain't givin' up on what I believe in So nobody can dig that thorn in my side I ain't worried about no perfect disguise Chorus Time flies and I'm on the run Time flies - I'm a loaded gun Even if I'm fightin' at the starting gate Can't hold me back - I'm gonna win the race There'll me be no backin' down - From what I believe in I've got the courage and I got the mouth Ain't gonna live my life without doubt No givin' up - On what I believe in Repeat Chorus Nobody can dig that thorn in my side I ain't worried about no perfect disguise I've opened my mind and I've opened my eyes Repeat Chorus
