Clifford T. Ward - The Mule lyrics

I could be happy, I could be glad I could be carefree, I could be bad Life would be worthwhile, I could be true I could be me, if it wasn't for you. I could be handsome, I could be rich I could be really out of this ditch Making my fortune, making my bed I could let fame go to my head. You keep your carrots, I don't want one I want my freedom, I want some fun Juxtaposition, what did I say What a position, I'm in today. You are my drawback, you are my pain Standing in my way, crowding my brain Why be so selfish, I'm just a fool Why be so stubborn, you're just a mule.
