Advice
© 2019 Joel Plimmer

When Kennedy decided we would put a man on the moon
He had to listen to someone
When Rockefeller dreamed that he would be an oil tycoon
He had to take some advice

     But I don’t want it
     I’m not gonna let it in
     I don’t need it
     I don’t want to hear it again
     For some reason
     You gotta give it
     I won’t take it
     Or believe it
     I know how to live my life
     I don’t need your advice
     I don’t need it

​You told me that I was a dreamer shooting for the stars
That it wouldn’t work out
You said if I continued I that I wouldn’t get too far
But just look at me now

     Yeah I don’t want it
     I’m not gonna let it in
     I don’t need it
     I don’t want to hear it again
     For some reason
     You gotta give it
     I won’t take it
     Or believe it
     I know how to live my life
     I don’t need your advice

SOLO

Listen up girl
You try to tell me
Where I’m gonna go
What I’m gonna do
Who I’m gonna do it to
You never had a clue
Cause I couldn’t quite
Ever get through to you
Let’s not pretend
It’s not the end
I’m gonna begin
A new life
It’s a perfect 10
So what’s done is done
Enough’s enough
You can’t tell me how to drive my truck

     Cause I don’t want it
     I’m not gonna let it in
     I don’t need it
     I don’t want to hear it again
     For some reason
     You gotta give it
     I won’t take it
     Or believe it
     I know how to live my life
     I don’t need your advice

     I don’t want it
     I’m not gonna let it in
     I don’t need it
     I don’t want to hear it again
​     For some reason
     You gotta give it
     I won’t take it
     Or believe it
     I know how to live my life
     I don’t need your advice
     I don’t need it
