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
Ah,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
