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 them a stand-up routine in L.A.
|
|
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
|
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
|
And you can speak you 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 alright
|
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
|
And you can speak you mind
|
But not on my time
|
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
|
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
|
