Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(I never said)
I still belong, don't get me wrong
You can speak your mind
But not on my time
They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's okay to wake up with yourself
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(Of cirumstance)
I still belong, don't get me wrong
You can speak your mind
But not on my time
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)
(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.)

Review about My Life thought i read somewhere | Reviewer: Bruce | 12/8/2007
I could be way off base, but I thought I read that this song was about Steve Martin. Maybe it was just some made up story. Not sure.
What is that sound at the end of this song? | Reviewer: Npture | 11/9/2007
Has anyone noticed how Billy Joel throws-up at the end of the song? You can hear a BAAARRFF(puke sound) after all the singing and backup singers. Maybe someone knows the story behind this?
There's a philosophy of life in that song.. something one might call the theme of one's life according to the frame of mind one has.. in a world of stereotypes, it's a call to cut loose from the pack to do your own thing.. and not give a damn.. Wonder who wrote it.
What year for my life... | Reviewer: Tod Whitney | 7/10/2007
I'm trying to find out exactly what year this song came out. I know it was in the late seventies 77-78?? Thanks, Tod Whitney
great | Reviewer: Jonathan | 6/29/2007
A classic example of the perfect pop song. It couldn`t be made any better from the original 70`s recording
Yea, I remember this song on that show in '1980 starring Tommy Hanks. He was ah so young and still developing his acadamy award acting skull. But, let me tell you, the title song of a TV show is almost everything...this one never said the title and the song was already out for at least 2-3 years prior. So with out Ole 2 Billy Joel there would never ever be a green day, and 4 sure a buddy without breast(bussom)***if U know what i Mean****
I love this song, reminds me of good friends n good times.
Billy Joel also looks like the caretaker at my school.
