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
Carryin' your own load
Oh never is a real long time (x2)
You will never be, you don't have to be
But never is a real long time
We know you speak you mind and you're truthful
You can make us hang on every word
Let 'em know you're there, but never let them in
Now that will get you what you well deserve
Preach your own word follow no one
If there's a god he has to come to you
But who will catch you, when you're fallin'
And all your friend's are far away and few
Oh never is a real long time (x2)
You will never be, you don't have to be
But never is a real long time
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
Oh never is a real long time (x2)
You will never be, you don't have to be
But never is a real long time
