3 Doors Down - Be Somebody (Acoustic 2)

The shades go 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 you're out with your friends" He said, "Mom, I'm trying And I'm living my life the best way that I can" '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 won't ever let you down The days 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 far out of sight" He said, "I love you, now don't worry about me You know I'll be fine" I'm not trying to be somebody else (Don't you know me I won't ever let you, I won't ever let you down) 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 is mine I lead Don't you know me? I'm not trying to be somebody else Don't you know me, I won't ever let you down Oh Lord, I won't be nobody else This life is mine And I am my own
