I'll go on alone - Marty Robbins Composer: Robbins Label: columbia Original key : Marty Robbins first record and first #1 country hit in 1952 Capo III #1 We're travelin' down two diff'rent roads in worlds so far a- part 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 be-fore #2 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 a- part You go your way and I'll go mine we'll both make brand new starts. Instrumental (same structure as verse): 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 Re - member though before you get you've gotta learn to give So, if its 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.
