I'll Go On Alone - Roy Acuff

We’re travelin' down two diff’rent roads

In worlds so far apart

You want me yet there’s somethin' else

Before me in your heart

You’re wantin' me to change my life

The way you’re livin' yours

But I can’t change, I see no way

You wanted me before.

If you don’t want me like I am

Then please don’t pity me

If you can’t change a little bit

Then why not set me free

If we can’t live together, then

It’s best we live apart

You go your way and I’ll go mine

We’ll both make brand new starts.

There’s nothing we can do it seems

We’ll never get along

With you believin' like you do

You say I live so wrong

But I can’t change my way of life

I’ve lived it much too long

You’ll either take me like I am

Or I’ll go on alone.

So, either say you want my love

Or take the way you live

Remember though before you get

You’ve gotta learn to give

So, if it’s change my life, or go

Then go, it’s gonna be

'Cause I can’t change my life, when you

Want somethin' more than me.
