A man that never wore a crown of thorns    
That never grabbed life by the horns
Avoided all the yellow lights flashing and what it warned
Never looked into the mirror, so he would not have to see what it really showed
A man
That did not listen to all that was told
A man that did not travel on the smooth roads
But always took the side roads
A man that did not belong to any zip coed
A man
That never received or never gave, there was nothing owed
and nothing borrowed
A man  
That stuck close to the railroad
not carrying where it would go
Never saying hello
A man
That preferred to be a John Doe
That would never  stay awhile
That would always look ahead to the next mile
with a smile
A man
With his  own lifestyle  
Making it all worthwhile
Never having to reconcile
!!
