Cantor e compositor, Rufus McGarrigle Wainwright nasceu em Nova York, em 22 de julho de 1973, filho dos cantores e músicos folk Loudon Wainwright III e Kate McGarrigle. Os pais se separaram quando ele ainda era criança. Rufus começou a tocar piano aos 6 anos de idade e, aos 13, já fazia turnês com sua irmã Martha Wainwright, a mãe Kate e a tia Anna McGarrigle.

Chorus
BbmFm Making my own way home
BbmFm Ain't gonna be alone
BbmG7C7b9 I got a life to lead America
Bbm7 I got a life to lead
(Back to Verse) Tell me do you really think you go to hell for having loved Tell me and not for thinking every thing that you've done is good I really need to know After soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood I'm so tired of America I really need to know
I may just never see you again or might as well You took advantage of a world that loved you well I'm going to a town that has already been burned down I'm so tired of you America
Making my own way home Ain't gonna be alone
Break - Not tabbed yet sorry
I got a life to lead America I got a life to lead I got a soul to feed I got a dream to heed And that's all I need
Making my own way home Ain't gonna be alone I'm going to a town that has already been burned down
