You don't understand the pattern of my life because my life has got no pattern
|
You don't see and you can't feel the wind
|
That's blowing at my back and saying move boy
|
You think this burning fever in my heart is just a folly
|
And I'm throwin' away my happiness by leaving you
|
Well it's my life throw it away if I want to
|
I've tried my best to plant my feet and stay with you but all I feel is roots grow
|
And what man wants a woman who won't satisfy his heart and soothe his ego
|
I sleep all day and run all night and you tell me that that ain't right
|
That ain't what the husbands of your friends do
|
But it's my life throw it away if I want to
|
[ harmonica ]
|
You try to make me think my nonconforming life has colored me some evil shade
|
You delight and filling up my mind with a little bits of guilt you think I oughta feel
|
Well I'm tired of feeling guilty and I'm tired of having nothing
|
And I'm throwin' away this life you've had me shackled to
|
It's my life throw it away if I want to
|
I've tried my best ...
