No man ever was nor ever will be like the man called Hank McCain They could lock him up But they could never never stop him living up to his name Life had told him long ago The simple fact that he was on his own Life had told him not to count On anyone except himself alone No one knows better than McCain How to care for number one How to take it never kill No one knows better than McCain That when all is said and done That's the only way to live No one knows better than McCain Just how angry you can be When they cage you in with laws No one knows better than McCain What it means to feel you're free When you know the world is yours
