"Denim & Diamonds"
(Nikki Lane / Gabe Simon)

I thought about it for a long time, wondering how I might let you go
I started counting up all my little problems and the doors that I should probably close
Well, it turns out things aren't exactly what they seem, so I might as well say what I mean
Well, here we go

[Chorus:]
I can do whatever I wanna all by my lonesome
If that's a problem, well, you can't say shit
'Cause I'm going my way, livin' and dyin'
And I can buy my own damn denim and diamonds

My boss called me up, said, "If you don't tow the line or be on time, you'll need a line of your own"
So I did the math and I chose the path of least resistance and I simply hung up the phone
And that was the last day that I ever got paid to do something that didn't make sense
That's when it clicked

[Chorus:]
I can do whatever I wanna all by my lonesome
If that's a problem, well, you can't say shit
'Cause I'm going my way, livin' and dyin'
And I can buy my own damn denim and diamonds
I can buy my own damn denim and diamonds
I can buy my own damn, damn, damn

[Bridge:]
So, girls, if you're feeling worn out, a little unsure, trying to make it all on your own
Well, just remember what Cher says, "Mom, I am a rich man," ain't scared to go it all alone

[Chorus:]
'Cause I can do whatever I wanna all by my lonesome
If that's a problem, well, you can't say shit
'Cause I'm going my way, livin' and dyin'
And I can buy my own damn denim and diamonds
I can buy my own damn denim and diamonds
I can buy my own damn, damn, damn
