verse 1
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 a house, bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold a house, bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
chorus
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, leave me alone
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, leave me alone
bridge
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
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
verse 2
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
Oh but sooner or later, you'll sleep in your own space
Either way it's OK, you wake up with yourself
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else
Oh but sooner or later, you'll sleep in your own space
Either way it's OK, you wake up with yourself
chorus
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, leave me alone
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, leave me alone
bridge
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
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
chorus
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
outro
Keep it to yourself, it's my life
