My Life
Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives 'em a stand up routine in L.A
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm all right
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong don't get me wrong
You can speak your mind but not on my time
They will tell you
You can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you
You can't sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later
You sleep in your own space
Either way it's okay
You wake up with yourself
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm all right
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives 'em a stand up routine in L.A
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm all right
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong don't get me wrong
You can speak your mind but not on my time
They will tell you
You can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you
You can't sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later
You sleep in your own space
Either way it's okay
You wake up with yourself
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm all right
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
