About The Song
“Go Your Own Way” is a rock song by Fleetwood Mac, written and sung by Lindsey Buckingham, and released in December 1976 as the first single from their 1977 album “Rumours.” The song reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and remains one of the band’s most popular and enduring hits.
The song is about the breakdown of Buckingham’s relationship with then-girlfriend Stevie Nicks, also a member of Fleetwood Mac. The lyrics are a bitter and accusatory indictment of Nicks, with Buckingham singing lines like “Loving you isn’t the right thing to do” and “If I could, maybe I’d give you my world / How can I when you won’t take it from me?”
Lyrics
Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things that I feel?
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me?
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up's all you wanna do
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
