Artist/Band: Kris Kristofferson
Lyrics for Song: I Got A Life Of My Own
Lyrics for Album: The Very Best of Kris Kristofferson [1994]



(Kris Kristofferson)



I said I got a life of my own, I've got a life of my own.



I said don't try to make me a part of no plan

Take me or leave me alone

Freedom's a feeling that few understand

I got a life of my own.



I said I oughta know where to sow my own seeds

And when I oughta leave it alone

Trouble's an old friend that I didn't need then

And I had a wife of my own.



I said I got a life of my own, I said I've got a life of my own.



I caught a beer bottle flat in the face

It laid me back to the bone

Hate is a flavor that's ugly to taste

And I had a knife of my own.



Now they leave me alone and alive by myself

Lost in the steel and the stone

Hoping for heaven and headin' for hell

I got a life of my own.



I said I got a life of my own, I got a life of my own

I got a life of my own, I got a life of my own...
