Nobody Owes You Anything

Out on the lonely road, just me and my shadow

Talking to myself, singing songs of the borrowed

Nobody owes, nobody owes, nobody owes

It’s all on you, yeah, it’s all on you

Caught in the dust of a long winding trail

Choices I’ve made, some good, some frail

No silver platter, no hand to hold

Just the weight of my own stories told

Woke up this mornin’ with a clear view

Owe nothing to me, I owe it all to you

No debts to settle, no promises to keep

Just the road I walk, and the secrets I keep

Nobody owes you a thing, that’s the truth I know

You do what you do, let the chips fall where they go

God’s forgiven me for the sins I’ve seen

That’s all I need to be redeemed

Nobody owes you a thing, no sir, nobody

It’s all on me, it’s all on me

From the crack of dawn until the night’s last call

I stand in the mirror, catchin’ my fall

Choices come, choices go, it’s a daily grind

But I keep my soul, keep my peace of mind

No one’s ledger to settle, no one’s debt to pay

Just daily battles in my own way

Owe myself the truth, owe God my grace

Living honest in this outlaw place

Nobody owes you a thing, that’s the truth I know

You do what you do, let the chips fall where they go

God’s forgiven me for the sins I’ve seen

That’s all I need to be redeemed

Nobody owes you a thing, no sir, nobody

It’s all on me, it’s all on me

So tip your hat, tip it high

Sing your song, and don’t ask why

Nobody owes, nobody owes, nobody owes

It’s just like that, it’s just like that
