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 LA
I don't need you to worry for me cause i'm all right
I don't want to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore cause it's my life
Go ahead with your 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 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 will sleep in your own space
either way it is Okay you wake up with yourself
I don't need for you to worry for me
cause I'm alright
I don't need you to worry for me cause i'm all right
I don't want to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore cause it's my life
Go ahead with your life and leave me alone
