You will never be man of this world You will never know the difference You don't care for that That is not for you You will make it with your own hands Build your own house, in your own way Always travel on your own road Be your own man, bother no one Carry nothing but your own load Never is a real long time Never is a real long time Oh, you will never be You don't have to be But never is a real long time You speak your mind and your truthful You can make us hang on ever word Let them know your there, but never let them in That will get you what you well deserve Preach your own word Follow no one, if there is a God he has to come to you Who will catch you when you're falling and all your friends are far away and few Never is a real long time Never is a real long time Oh, you will never be You don't have to be But never is a real long time
