©1972 by Gordon Lightfoot

I spent most of my life outside
In the driving rain
I was only trying to get by
With some of life's amenities
Well nothing's free
I got more than I bargained for
Now it's plain to see
I can't depend on love to defend me

It took most of my time to do
What never was done
I was on the outside
Of an inside kind of love that now is gone
Come right or wrong
It was laid to rest that way
I hate to be unkind
Pretending is for strangers who don't know you

I spent most of my life outside
In the driving rain
I was in some one-horse town just
Waiting for a plane to take me back
Now where's that at
I paid the price
Well ain't that nice
Knowing I'm so free
I can't depend on love to defend me

I got more than I bargained for
Now it's plain to see
I can't depend on love to defend me
