[Verse 1]
Em G D C
I wasn’t born behind a wall to keep me in
Em G D C
Don’t need no holy book to tell me good from sin
Em G D C
Ain’t got a problem with my neighbor or his wife
Em G D C
I took the open road to get me through this life
Em G D C
Em G D C
[Verse 2]
Em G D C
I never messed around with drugs or drink a lot
Em G D C
Don’t chase no skirt around the rainbow parking lot
Em G D C
I keep my weapons safe and loaded by my bed
Em G D C
This is the way I live and I have no regrets
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
And I mind my own business
G D
I’m just telling you this so you know where I stand
Am C
Yes I do my own business
D C
And I ain’t gonna change wouldn’t do me no good
D C
I have been here too long is it not understood
[Chorus]
G D
When all that we know isn’t all we should know
Em C
You can follow like sheep or trust in yourself

No god No religion

Nobody To roll over me
Em C D G
I’m free, that’s me and that’s the way it’s gonna be

[Verse 3]
Em G D C
Don’t trust my government and those who make the laws
Em G D C
If they want peace why do they start a war
Em G D C
And all this preachin’ ‘bout what is right and what is wrong
Em G D C
Have made this simple man to write this protest song
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
And I mind my own business

I’m just telling you this so you know where I stand
Am C
Yes I do my own business
