J. A. J. A. Abney

I do what I like, not what they want me to be

I live for myself, setting my own spirit free

I mind my own business, I stay in my lane

Through all of the miles, the sun and the rain

Drove all the way to Seattle, Washington, under the sky

Made it back to North Carolina, watching the trees roll by

I found my own peace on that long, quiet drive

Now I know exactly what keeps me alive

'Cause if I got room to love myself, babe

I got room to love you

If I can find a reason to smile

I can make you smile too

I'm not selfish, I've got nothing to hide

So let me share my love with you, let me bring you inside

J. A. J. A. Abney, hear me say it right

I can love you for life

I don't live for the crowd, I just live for my truth

But being my own person brings me closer to you

We made it back safely, we conquered the road

Now I'm ready to help you carry the load

I keep my heart guarded from the noise out there

I don't worry 'bout people, I don't really care

But there is a space in the depths of my soul

Where I let you step in and make me feel whole

'Cause if I got room to love myself, babe

I got room to love you

If I can find a reason to smile

I can make you smile too

I'm not selfish, I've got nothing to hide

So let me share my love with you, let me bring you inside

J. A. J. A. Abney, hear me say it right

I can love you for life

From the West Coast streets to the Southern breeze

I learned how to put my own mind at ease

And now that I'm grounded, now that I'm sure

I know that this feeling is steady and pure

I'm walking my path, but I want you right here

With you by my side, the vision is clear

If I got room to love myself, babe

I got room to love you

If I can find a reason to smile

I can make you smile too

I'm never selfish, I've got nothing to hide

Let me share my love with you, let me bring you inside

J. A. J. A. Abney, in the morning light

I can love you for life

Yeah, I can love you for life
