Lyrics Melissa Ferrick

Melissa Ferrick

Welcome To My Life

C'mon in, yeah welcome to my life

I get up in the morning

Grab a cup of coffee

Check out and pack my car

Kick it in 5th gear

75 won't get ya caught here

We're pulling in to one more city

Where, hey, from the looks of it

All the girls are pretty

So i promise to grab my soul

And leave my ego at the door

I'm gonna open up my eyes

So, c'mon sing along if ya wanna

Cry if ya hafta

Lean back into your lover's arms

Grab the hand of the person

standing right next to you

show them we are not afraid of who we are

nobody is afraid of who we are here

Yeah, see I have 4 bags, 2 guitars, my friend Jen

Who helps me remember that its the fans who got me

where I am

So if I close out a show and I m still 40 dollars in

the hole

You know, I just put the room on plastic

And sleep another night on an unfamiliar mattress

And wonder where you are.

I wonder where you are

So im gonna grab my soul

And leave my ego at the door

I'm gonna open up my eyes

So, c'mon sing along if ya wanna

Cry if ya hafta

Lean back into your lover's arms

Grab the hand of the person

Standing right next to you

Show them we are not afraid of who we are

C'mon in, yeah welcome to my life

I get up in morning grab a cup of coffee

Check out and pack my car

I wonder where you are, yeah where you are

Am i gonna meet you in Boise, Boston, in Chicago or New

Orleans

In Phoenix, Miami, in Atlanta or Des Moines

Am i gonna meet you in Cleveland, in Charleston

Chapel Hill or Detroit,

In Austin, Portland, in Arlington or Brooklyn

in Hartford, in Philly, in Los Angeles or New York City

Welcome to my life
