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 them

the 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, 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'll sleep in your own expense

Either way, it's okay, you'll 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, 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

So get me wrong

You can speak your mind

But not on my time

I don't care what you say anymore

This is my life

Go ahead with your own life. Leave me alone.

To yourself, it's my enlightenment.

To yourself, it's my enlightenment.

Weep unto yourself.
