I want to be my own man. I'd love to walk it alone.

Keep your nose clean, head above water.

keep your feet on the ground. keep your hands off my daughter.

Keep your back to the wind. Keep your thoughts to yourself.

An eye on the clock. Keep an eye on your health.

I wish they'd let me just keep to myself.

I do fine on my own.
