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
Now 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 your blues to get on my feet

Cause this is my life, my friend
And this is my time to stand
Now 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
Now 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
Now this is my life, my friend
