lyrics
Well, I’m no longer young
No, but when I saw my chance I swung
Don’t you know it’s just fine enough
For me to look back and to feel only love
Yeah, well, I’m a self-made man
It’s alright if it’s not all to plan
I had it in my hand, and held on tight
I couldn’t do more, oh, but I did fight
Yeah, yeah, I’m a self-made man
Well, I’ve dug my own holes
Yes, and often took a lonely road
Isn’t it something to behold
A grown man who just won’t do as he’s told
Oh, now, I’m a self-made man
It’s alright if it’s not all to plan
I had it in my hand, and held on tight
I couldn’t do more, oh, but I did fight
Yeah, yeah, I’m a self-made man
Oh, oh, I'm a self-made man
Well, I don’t blame anymore
No, it’s just me in my little war
If I learned anything it’s just this part
You take it all, oh, and give it heart
Yeah, yeah, I’m a self-made man
It’s alright that it’s not all to plan
I had it in my hand, and held on tight
I couldn’t do more, oh, but I did fight
Oh, now, I’m a self-made man
I'll take it all, the good and the bad
I had it in my hand, and held on tight
I couldn’t do much more but fight
Yeah, yeah, I’m a self-made man
Oh, oh, I'm a self-made man
Hell yeah, I'm a self-made man
Oh, you're looking at a self-made man
