Be Somebody - Acoustic 2

The shades go up

Mother's staring down

She don't know where he's been

Or how long he's been out

She said, "Boy, I'm tired of waiting up

While you're out with your friends"

He said, "Mom, I'm trying

And I'm living my life the best way that I can"

'Cause I'm trying to be somebody

I'm not trying to be somebody else

This life is mine I'm living

Don't you know me, I won't ever let you down

The days come

The son is moving on

She don't know where he'll go

Or when he's coming home

She said, "Son, take care

Don't let your dreams get too far out of sight"

He said, "I love you, now don't worry about me

You know I'll be fine"

I'm not trying to be somebody else

(Don't you know me I won't ever let you,

I won't ever let you down)

What they say

What they know

What they think

Won't ever bring me down

This life is mine

And I am my own

I'm trying to be somebody

I'm not trying to be somebody else

This life is mine I lead

Don't you know me?

I'm not trying to be somebody else

Don't you know me, I won't ever let you down

Oh Lord, I won't be nobody else

This life is mine

And I am my own
