Bill Anderson Lyrics for Song: My Life
 Lyrics for Album: The Definitive Collection [MCA Nashville] [2006]
 
 
 
 4634>(Bill Anderson)
 
 
 
 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.

 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 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...
