She said \"Boy I'm tired of waiting up while your out with your He said \"Mom, I'm trying and I'm living my life the best way that I can\"

The day has come 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 too far out of sight\" He said love you now don't worry about me you know I'll be fine\"
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 wont ever let you down No
I'm not trying to be somebody else Don't you know me? I ever let you I wont ever let you
What they say What they know What they think won't ever bring down This life is mine and I am my own
