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.
CHORUS
I don`t need you to wrry 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
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
CHORUS
