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.
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, 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 you can�t sleep alone In a strange place Then they�ll tell you 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
