We left home when were barely past eleven-teen |
|
We've been back and fourth and all around through hell and rain |
|
I've loved you half of your life and Ill keep on loving you |
|
But I can't change and live the way you want me to. |
|
We spent a lot of time out on the highway |
|
Coming from some town we played along the way |
|
After thirty years and knowing me the way you do |
|
You know I cant change and live the way you want me to . |
|
That red bandana tied around your auburn hair |
|
You look like you ought to be somebody's wife somewhere |
|
You ain't never going to be no bobby Mcgee but your trying to |
|
But I can't change and live the way you want me to |
|
Every time you leave the stage I know you've had your fill |
|
And I wonder why you grew up and why I never will |
|
Hey I'm forty-one today still going on twenty-two |
|
But I can't change and live the way you want me to |
|
That red bandana tied around your auburn hair |
|
You look like you ought to be somebody's wife somewhere |
|
You ain't never going to be no bobby Mcgee but your trying to |
|
But I can't change and live the way you want me to |
|
I can't change and live the way you want me to |
