Got a call from an old friend we'd 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 allright 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 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 can't sleep with somebody else Ah but
sooner or later you sleep in your own
space Either way it's O.K. you wake up with
yourself
