I don’t need anybody. I don’t need anyone.
Take it nice and easy mama , chicken on the run and I don’t care.
I’d show my body anywhere.
Ain’t no big city winner’s gonna pass my buck anywhere.
Ain’t no four leaf clover’s gonna settle my luck and I don’t care.

Go down to the courthouse and I’ve been on display.
Don’t you think that I don’t know
it ain’t been a perfect day , but I don’t care.
I’d sell my body anywhere.
In the name of creation , I can’t find an explanation anywhere.
Ain’t no easy rider gonna settle my luck and I don’t care

Down , down the road , up the road
Down , down the road , up the road

Been rejuvenated to the highest degree.
Ain’t no words describing what this feeling’s done to me and I don’t care.
I’d show my feelings anywhere.
Ain’t no heavy Mister Leather’s gonna paddle my butt anywhere
Ain’t no four leaf clover’s gonna settle my luck and I don’t care.

Down , down the road , up the road
Down , down the road , up the road

Down, down the road , up the road
