Make It on My Own

My baby's gone, gone into a bad dream
In the shape of a black boot aiming for his head
They said watch it woman, get out of here
Save your tears, save your tears
For a white love who deserves your prayers

You don't need matches to make something burn
They left me your ashes and walked away
All I can think of is how to get back
Taking it day by day

I make it on my own
Make it on my own again
My baby's gone
I'm on my own again

I make it on my own
Make it on my own again
My baby's gone
I'm on my own again

My baby's gone, running down the street like a wild horse
I said watch out my love, watch out!
My baby turned his head
Just in time to feel the breeze across his face, of the first blow
That night the sky turned white

You don't need matches to make something burn
Brush off the ashes and walked away
All I can think of is how to get back
Taking it day by day

I make it on my own
Make it on my own again
My baby's gone
I'm on my own again

I make it on my own
Make it on my own again
My baby's gone
I'm on my own again

I make it on my own
Make it on my own again
My baby's gone
I'm on my own again

I make it on my own again
I make it on my own again
I make it on my own again
