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 !!
