I went talkin' to my woman, I had to tell her where its at
I said you quit draggin' me around girl, I ain't that kind of cat
I said, I expect some respect - so what you think of that !
She said, I don't give a damn - I am what I am
I don't give a damn - I am what I am
No matter what you say, I'm gonna do it anyway
Because I don't give a damn
She said, now you listen to me babe - that's alright for you
You swarming around with that band of yours,

But you expect me to be sittin' here,

If you don't get your ass back home tonight,
Then you and me are through
And if you don't take my advice - you know what you can do !
I said, I don't give a damn - I am what I am
Well, I don't give a damn - I am what I am

Well I wanted to boogie so we got in the car
Well I wasn't too choosy but then soon we got far
So we stopped in a club and we had us a drink
Well it wasn't too long and just what do you think
Well I wanted to boogie and the band they came on
They were both very pretty but I don't like the song
So I went for a walk and I followed the sound
And I came to a party and a lady I found
Well she smiled real sweet and she said you're a peach
So she wanted to take me for a walk on the beach
And she told me the breeze as it come from the sea
Keeps your hard on all night and you can meet it with me
Whew !
Well I wanted to boogie but I wasn't too sure
I f I wanted to do just what she wanted me for
So I said I'm with friends and I havn't a dime
So she turned 'round and said, well come and see me some time
Well I wanted to boogie so we kept on the move
And we looked for a place, we could go in and groove
So we went to the Playboy and we hadn't got keys
So it cost thirty dollars just to go in and freeze
So I wanted to boogie but the hadn't come
We decided to sleep and then get up with the sun
So we headed for home and it didn't take long
So I sat on my bed and then I wrote out this song
Boogie, boogie - My,my,my,my - my,my - Wow !
Boogie, boogie, yeah ! - Wow ! - My,my,my,my,my,my - Whew !

I'm Gonna Make It
(2003 Space Songs)
When I reach the promised land
with my guitar in my hand
all the doors will open wide
with my baby by my side
and as far as I can see
I guess the world belongs to me
But the world is made of dust
and my guitar starts to rust
and the entropy goes on
but you say it won't last long
so I'm lying at your feet
seems you never miss a beat
So I play my guitar
That's my guiding star
through the cosmos I will blast
Through the universe so vast
so as far as I can see
Until I reach infinity
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
gonna make it
Gonna take it
Gonna shake it
anytime with you
I wasn't born to be too mild
I was a revolution child
I played the game for all to see
they couldnt' stop me feelign free
it never hurts to take a chance
I'll play the music you just dance
I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
If you fake it dont' you shake it
Gonna make it anytime with me
I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it with you (yeah)
Well if you don't believe me then you'd better be aware
I don't want to love someone who doesn't really care
If you take it you can make it to the end of the line
and that us when I'll know that you are mine all mine
and if you want to help me you can carry my load
If you make it you can take it to the end of the road
I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
gonna make it gonna take it
gonna shake it anytime with you

"It Don't Come Easy"
1992 Space Songs, Warner Chappell Ltd.
Well it don't come easy and it don't come quick
And your hands get greasy and your mind gets sick
And your heart starts pumping and your blood gets thin
And you keep on loosing when you want to win
Well you keep on pushing just to free your mind
Got to keep on looking if you want to find
All the dreams you're seeking what you're thinking of
Better come to me 'cause you need some love
Well it don't come easy and it don't come quick
And your mind gets sleazy and your tongue gets slick
And your heart gets harder and the air gets thin
And you keep on loosing when you want to win
Well you keep on moving cause you can't stand still
And you keep on climbing to another hill
And the road gets longer and you see no end
Better come to me 'cause you need a friend
