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
