Lyrics

Got the word, getting ready

Receiving information, preparing.

Gonna get my pay from

Expecting payment for something.

I'm in light

Being in the spotlight or attention.

When the action is hot

When things are intense or exciting.

No town, no city

No specific location or ties to a place.

Gonna be free from the jumping jack

Freedom from a lively, energetic person.

Kiss of life, getting gritty

Receiving support and encouragement in a challenging situation.

If the mule don't kick you know the mule don't ride

If you don't face challenges, you won't progress.

And I know, yes I know, well I know

A sense of assurance or confidence.

That's the way to go

Approving a certain course of action.

And I know, and I know

Repeated affirmation of knowledge.

And I know that I'm gonna get it down the road

Confident about achieving something in the future.


Cause I'm living on a borrowed time

Living with a sense of uncertainty or limited time.

Do it your way, I'll do it mine

Choosing one's own path or method.

Living on a borrowed time

Continuing to exist despite challenges.

Don't need a shove, don't need a sign

Not requiring assistance or guidance.


Call me names, call me crazy

Being called names or considered unconventional.

Don't try to stop me when I feel this way

Not allowing others to hinder personal feelings.

It's a game, (whoopsy daisy)

Referring to a casual or unexpected event.

Here comes another girl to make my day

Anticipation of a positive encounter with someone new.

And I know, yes I know, well I know

Reiteration of knowledge and confidence.

That's the way to go

Reaffirming a chosen path or direction.

And I know, yes I know

Expressing certainty or understanding.

I'm gonna get up when I'm up on the road

Getting back up when facing challenges on the journey.


(So long, goodbye, good luck, au revoir baby)

Farewells and good wishes to someone departing.


(Look out people, never let me loose)

Warning to be cautious and not let the speaker loose.


I don't need a sign to show me the way

Independence, not relying on external guidance.
