========================================


        I don't care about your ways
        of love and life and walkin'
        I don't care about your days
        of carin' and not talkin'

        But it's your right
        the way that you live
        It's all right
        the way that you live

        You won't call
        it doesn't matter if your sun shines out in the evening
        Don't wait
        the moon will wait for you to come on night then talkin'

        I don't care 'bout your present pay
        and the night life you keep burnin'
        I don't care what your old man says
        all the ways you have of learnin'

        But it's your right
        the way that you live
        It's all right
        the way that you live

        You don't write
        it doesn't matter what they all say, gonna mess around
        It's okay
        it doesn't matter if your off or fine gonna learn

        I don't care about your ways
        of love and life and walkin'
        I don't care about your days
        of carin' and not talkin'

        But it's all right
        the way that you live
        It's all right
        the way that you live
        It's all right
        the way that you live
        It's all right
        the way that you live
        It's all right
        the way that you live
        It's all right
