Bill Anderson - My Life (throw It Away If I Want To) lyrics

rate me

You don't understand the pattern of my life because my life has got no pattern

You don't see and you can't feel the wind

That's blowing at my back and saying move boy

You think this burning fever in my heart is just a folly

And I'm throwin' away my happiness by leaving you

Well it's my life throw it away if I want to

I've tried my best to plant my feet and stay with you but all I feel is roots grow

And what man wants a woman who won't satisfy his heart and soothe his ego

I sleep all day and run all night and you tell me that that ain't right

That ain't what the husbands of your friends do

But it's my life throw it away if I want to

[ harmonica ]

You try to make me think my nonconforming life has colored me some evil shade

You delight and filling up my mind with a little bits of guilt you think I oughta feel

Well I'm tired of feeling guilty and I'm tired of having nothing

And I'm throwin' away this life you've had me shackled to

It's my life throw it away if I want to

I've tried my best ...
