Lyrics
People always got alot to say when they offer up advice.
But when I want to get up and go play I don't want to ask nobody twice.
You could talk all day trying to tell me a better way to live my life, but look at you-
You made the sacrifice to be somebody that you're not and you ultimately paid the price.
Well I was thinking to myself that's not the road I want to go down.
If you're looking for me I might be somewhere in the lost and found, Maybe but....
Make no mistake I make the choices I make and I take the chances I take too.
I never played you and I didn't say I could take care of you - I should've told you....
I am only alone because I want to be.
I've been out on my own and I've been running free.
Can't put no leash on me. I am a stone that's meant to roll.
I want everything, but I've got to know I'm in control.
Yeah- That's how I'm living
What do know about that?
Hey - Have you ever been in the zone?
Yeah- where all these women want to know...Just why I move on and I tell them...
Somebody always trying to warn me how I should settle down.
How I'm never bound to meet somebody nice and my ties are severed now.
Well I don't hear the lies told by people in disguise. If you look deep into my eyes
You won't see commitment or comprimise- I'm not ready!
Because I've been thinking to myself that's not the road I want to go down.
If you're looking for me I might be somewhere in the lost and found, Maybe but....
Make no mistake I make the choices I make and I take the chances I take too.
I never played you and I didn't say I could take care of you - I should've told you....
