Play By Your Own Rules

Take a hold of the wheel, and turn it for yourself
Live like you ain't never gonna lose
Choose to be the one who favors kindness over wealth
Don't be somebody else's fool
You've gotta play by your own rules

There's a thin, thin line between the rhymes and the drift
Not knowing who's in charge of either one
Visions of tomorrow always well within my view
Begging me to chase the setting sun

Take a hold of the wheel, and turn it for yourself
Live like you ain't never gonna lose
Choose to be the one who favors kindness over wealth
Don't be somebody else's fool
You've gotta play by your own rules

In a cold, cold storm
When the hold is calling you
Can't even see the darkness for the rain
Steady is the path that'll lead you safely through
Don't hurry 'cause you'll get there just the same

Take a hold of the wheel, and turn it for yourself
Live like you ain't never gonna lose
Choose to be the one who favors kindness over wealth
Don't be somebody else's fool
You've gotta play by your own rules

Be a shining light
Be a helping hand
Be a giving heart
Be a patient man

Take a hold of the wheel, and turn it for yourself
Live like you ain't never gonna lose
Choose to be the one who favors kindness over wealth
Don't be somebody else's fool
You've gotta play by your own rules
