Verse 3:
Once I never could hope to win,
You starting down the road leaving me again.
The threats you made were meant to cut me down,
And if our love was just a circus
You’d be a clown by now.

Additional Lyrics
2. If you choose to, you can live your life alone
Some people choose the city,
Some others choose the good old family home.
I like living easy without family ties
’Til the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me
Right between the eyes.
