lyrics

I’m here to help you if I can
Seems like your demons struck again
You just want to make it on your own

You are a rookie learning fast
Don’t need assistance, take a pass
You just want to make it on your own

Nobody makes it on their own

There’s an attitude that’s taken hold
These kids don’t listen when they’re told
They just want to make it on their own

People in the know present the facts
But the rest of us still don’t react
We just want to all be left alone

Nobody makes it on their own

I was a bachelor
Nobody could tame the animal in me
I tore the city up alone

But now I’ve got myself a crew
Two little daughters and then you
Takes more than one to fill a home
Now I know. . .

Nobody makes it on their own
