Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldnt 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 dont need you to worry for me cause Im alright
I dont want you to tell me its time to come home
I dont 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, dont get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time

They will tell you you cant sleep alone
In a strange place
Then theyll tell you you cant sleep
With somebody else
But sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way its okay
You wake up with yourself

Chorus
