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 thing 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'
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
