You got to hide your soul away
Put it in the woods, save it for the grave
You can't expose yourself that way
Put it under lock, lock it from the pain

You don't owe a thing, you don't have to pay
You don't owe a thing, you can't pay

You got to rule your own ball game
Follow what you know, throw the rest away
You can't be led 'round by your fear
Feed it to the vultures, there's a lot of them out

You don't owe a thing, you don't have to pay
You don't owe a thing, you can't pay

Play on, play on
You don't owe a thing, so play on
Play
