I was twenty-two and I hated myself
Had a dead end job that didn't treat me that well
And I didn't believe that things would ever change
He was yelling in my face and I'd had enough
Got to get out of this place, give it all up
Cause I won't, no I won't, I won't waste my life
Cause I'm not, I'm not a paycheck
I've got soul and I've got drive
And I'll break any rule I need to
To make sure I stay alive
I packed up my car with all that I had
Pursuing my dreams in every city on the map
And it's so hard, but I need to
I've got twenty dollars in my bank account
And I'm so scared that I won't figure it out
Even though I always seem to
Cause I'm not, I'm not a paycheck
I've got soul and I've got drive
And I'll break any rule I need to
To make sure I stay alive
Some days, I feel brave
Others days, I'm crazy
But I've got a lot to say
So it doesn't even phase me
Cause I'm not, I'm not a paycheck
I've got soul and I've got drive
And I'll break any rule I need to
To make sure I stay alive
And I'll break any rule I need to
To make sure I feel alive
