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 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

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

I don't care what you say anymore
this is my life
Go ahead with your own life
and leave me alone anyways, It's still
