I go, down the beaten track Along the river with an empty bag At the end she said to me "Why are you here, with the autumn leaves?" 'Cause this is my life, my friend and this is my time to stand 'Cause this is my life, my friend and I can't be no one else I'm done, tipping on my toes Strike an iron and attack my soul Misty moon, you're gonna see I've got you blues to get on my feet 'Cause this is my life, my friend And this is my time to stand 'Cause this is my life, my friend And I can't be no one else I don't wanna run I don't wanna fight I don't wanna hide I just wanna stay free, to be me I don't wanna win I don't wanna lose I don't wanna play I just wanna remember, oh my name 'Cause this is my life, my friend And this is my time to stand Oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 'Cause this is my life, my friend And this is my time to stand 'Cause this is my life, my friend And I can't be no one else 'Cause this is my life, my friend And I can't be no one else 'Cause this is my life, my friend
