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 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
And you can speak your mind 
But not on my time

They will tell you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else 
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

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 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, and leave me alone
