Lyrics

It's Not for Me
Every day just a wasting my time
Go to work at my job where they five and dime me
Don't know how much more of it I can stand

Got a man into settling down
He's a sweet enough guy
But he don't understand me
Think I gotta get out while I still can

Chorus
Cause it's not for me
Gonna ride with the wind in my hair in my convertible they said I'll never buy
No it's not for me
I'll show them the back of my wings as they are tellin me I'll never fly
It's not for me
'cause I really want to live all my life instead of watching as it passes me by
No it's not for me
And I've got no one to blame but myself if I don't get out there and try to fly

Waking up to another day,
Gotta face all that traffic
It's not even Friday
Maybe time to be planning my great escape

Time to find who I am on my on
More than a face in the crowd
More than another number
Walking out that door, I'm on my way
Chorus 2
Cause it's not for me
Gonna ride with the wind in my hair in my convertible they said I'll never buy
No it's not for me
I'll show them the back of my wings as they are tellin me I'll never fly
It's not for me
'cause I really want to live all my life instead of watching as it passes me by
No it's not for me
And I've got no one to blame but myself if I don't get out there and try to fly
Want a life that's free
Want to head down that open road where my horizon meets that golden sky
SOLO
Bridge;
I know someday I'll want a husband, home, the kids running round me
Someday that's where I want to be

Chorus 3
But for now I'm free
Want to ride with the wind in my hair in that convertible they said I'dl never buy
That's the life for me
Look up at these fabulous wing as I blaze across the open sky
Yes I'm flying free
And I'm really gonna live all my life instead of watching as it passes me by
Living life so free
No I'm never gonna turn on my back, keep on living 'till the day I die
