A Place To Call My Own Lyrics

Laying back on her bed

She stares at the ceiling

Counting the number of seconds

As the clock ticks on

Lately you know she's been getting the feeling

That her mom and dad want her moving on

I need a place to call my own

Somewhere where I can be alone

I swear that I can hardly breathe

So come and set me free

I need a place to call my own

Somewhere where I can be alone

I swear that I can hardly breathe

So come and set me free

The man that she wants is a lonesome gambler

He bets his life on the wheel most every night

But something about him seems to give her a fever

If only she could get it right

I need a place to call my own

Somewhere where I can be alone

I swear that I can hardly breathe

So come and set me free

I need a place to call my own

Somewhere where I can be alone

I swear that I can hardly breathe

So come and set me free

Standing in the rain in cold, brown Brooklyn

She's wondering how she ever got so low

The world that she built

Is falling down on her

But she says Hey, it was all for a good time

But now I must walk the silver line

And get on back to that place I call my own

And so she walks alone

I need a place to call my own

Somewhere where I can be alone

I swear that I can hardly breathe

So come and set me free

I need a place to call my own

Somewhere where I can be alone

I swear that I can hardly breathe

So come and set me free
