The gone 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 your out with your friends\" He said \"Mom, I'm trying and I'm living my life the best way that I can\"
Cause 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 wont ever you down
The day has 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 out of sight\" He said \"I love you now don't worry about me you know I'll be fine\"
Cause I'm trying to be somebody I'm trying to be somebody else This life is mine I'm living Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
I'm not trying to be somebody else Don't you know me? I wont ever you I wont ever let you
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 mine I lead Don't you know me?
I'm trying 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 No I'm not trying to somebody else Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down I won't be nobody else This life is mine and I am my own
