welcome to my life -- melissa ferrick

come on in
yea, welcome to my life
i get up in the morning
grab a cup of coffee
i check out and pack my car

yeah, kick it in 5th gear
75 won't get you caught here
we're pulling into one more city
from the looks of it
all the girls are pretty

so i promise to grab my soul
and leave my ego at the door
i'm gonna open up my eyes

so come on and,
sing along if you want to
cry if you have to
lean back into your lover's arms
grab the hand of the person
standing right next to you
show them that nobody is afraid here
of who they are

yeah see
i got four bags and two guitars--three actually
my friend jen
who helps me remember
that its the fans who got me where i am
so if i close out a show
and i'm still 40 dollars in the hole
i put the room on plastic
and sleep another night
on an unfamiliar mattress
and wonder where you are

so i promise to grab my soul
and leave my ego at the door
i'm gonna try to open up my eyes

so come on and
sing along if you want to
cry if you have to
lean back into your lover's arms
grab the hand of a person, yeah,
standing right next to you, and
show them that you are not afraid
of who you are

no one is afraid of who they are here

so come on in, yeah,
welcome to my life
i get up in the morning
grab a cup of dunkin' donuts coffee
i check out and pack my car
and i wonder where you are

and i'm gonna meet you in
boise, boston,
chicago or new orleans,
in phoenix, miami,
atlanta or des moines,
well i'll meet you in
cleveland, charleston,
chapel hill or detriot,
in austin, in portland,
in arlington or brooklyn,
in hartford, in philly,
in denver or new york city...
