Lyrics
0:27Oh momma I don't want to sit and listen to
0:31What you're talking about
0:37We're both young and we're going move to the city
0:40Yeah we found a little place up there
0:48We don't need a lecture 'bout things that could go wrong
0:52I'm not a child no more
0:57So let me be my own
1:01Let me be my own
1:08So I got a job as a waitress
1:12It's not much but we're getting by
1:19Three months in we're happy and we're living
1:22Like I told you we could be
1:30Every time I call you yeah you're crying
1:33And I don't want to do you wrong
1:40But I'm not coming home
1:43Let me be my own
2:06Oh the things we do
2:09To make it on our own
2:17People say this town is fast and if you don't hold on
2:22It blows you back to where you came from
2:28God is money loves a game
2:30And everyone is angry at the president
2:38Protests on the streets people shouting
2:42And I'll say that I'm angry too
2:49But not enough to go
2:52I'm trying to be my own
3:05Hey ma it's been a while yeah I'm just checking in
3:09Seeing how you've been
3:15Nothing's wrong I'm doing fine no that's a lie
3:20I'm not doing so well
3:26Lost my job and Joey found religion
3:29And he also found another girl
3:36That's not how it's supposed to go
3:39And I'm missing home
3:41I'm trying to be my own but I
3:44Guess I just feel a little alone
3:52Oh the things we do
3:55To make it on our own
Oh momma I don't want to sit and listen to What you're talking about We're both young and we're going move to the city Yeah we found a little place up there We don't need a lecture 'bout things that could go wrong I'm not a child no more So let me be my own Let me be my own So I got a job as a waitress It's not much but we're getting by Three months in we're happy and we're living Like I told you we could be Every time I call you yeah you're crying And I don't want to do you wrong But I'm not coming home Let me be my own Oh the things we do To make it on our own People say this town is fast and if you don't hold on It blows you back to where you came from God is money loves a game And everyone is angry at the president Protests on the streets people shouting And I'll say that I'm angry too But not enough to go I'm trying to be my own Hey ma it's been a while yeah I'm just checking in Seeing how you've been Nothing's wrong I'm doing fine no that's a lie I'm not doing so well Lost my job and Joey found religion And he also found another girl That's not how it's supposed to go And I'm missing home I'm trying to be my own but I Guess I just feel a little alone Oh the things we do To make it on our own
