[Verse 1]
I was down and out, now I'm up again
When I roll the dice, everybody wins
Like a cannonball movin' down the track
Baby's on her way, she ain't comin' back
(Never comin' back, never comin' back)
Baby's on her way

[Verse 2]
Shootin' out the lights and the smoke alarms
Keep your fingers crossed, I'm a lucky charm
Like a cannonball movin' down the track
Baby's on her way, she ain't comin' back
(Never comin' back, never comin' back)
Baby's on her way, eh
(Never comin' back, never comin' back)
Baby's on her way

[Chorus]
Like it or not, I don't give a damn
Lord have mercy, I'm a self-made man
(Oh, self-made man)
(Oh, self-made man)

[Verse 3]
I can't let it go, gotta do or die
For an underdog, I've been ridin' high
Gonna juice it up in my Pontiac
Baby's on her way, she ain't comin' back
(Never comin' back, never comin' back)
Oh, baby's on her way, ah-ah
(Never comin' back, never comin' back)
Baby's on her way
[Chorus]
Like it or not, I don't give a damn
Lord have mercy, I'm a self-made man
I got a plan up top and two strong hands
Lord have mercy, I'm a self-made man
(Oh, self-made man)
(Oh, self-made man)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, like it or not, I don't give a damn
Lord have mercy, I'm a self-made man
I got a plan up top and two strong hands
Lord have mercy, I'm a self-made man
(Oh, self-made man)
(Oh, self-made man)
(Oh, self-made man)
