from the songs album 52nd Street
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
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
