It's My Life
Written by recorded by Bill Anderson
G
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
C
That's blowing at my back and saying move boy
G
You think this burning fever in my heart is just a folly
C
And I'm throwing away my happiness by leaving you
F C
Well it's my life throw it away if I want to
G
I've tried my best to plant my feet and stay with you
C
But all I feel is roots grow
D7
And what man wants a woman who won't satisfy his heart
G
And soothe his ego I sleep all day and run all night
And you tell me that that ain't right
C
That ain't what the husbands of your friends do
F C
But it's my life throw it away if I want to
G
You try to make me think my nonconforming life
Has colored me some evil shade
You delight and filling up my mind
C
With a little bits of guilt you think I oughta feel
G
Well I'm tired of feeling guilty and I'm tired of having nothing
C
And I'm throwing away this life you've had me shackled to
F C
It's my life throw it away if I want to
