Fleetwood Mac - "Go Your Own Way," Acoustic Guitar Cover

Butch's take on how Lindsey really felt about Stevie in "Go Your Own Way." Written by Lindsey Buckingham and performed by Fleetwood Mac, it was the first single to be released from their highly successful album, Rumours and peaked at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100. It is ranked number 119 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and is on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.

Buckingham wrote this song with regard to his bandmate Stevie Nicks, with whom he had just ended a romantic relationship. It describes their breakup, with the most obvious line being, "Packing up, shacking up is all you want to do." Nicks insisted she never shacked up with anyone when they were together, and wanted Lindsey to take out the line, but he refused.

The song appeared as a playable track in the 2008 music video games, Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour. Also in the 1995 Martin Scorcese Film, Casino (film) and Forrest Gump

Lyrics:

Loving you
Isnt the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel

If I could
Maybe Id give you my world
How can i
When you wont 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 is all you wanna do

If I could
Baby Id give you my world
Open up
Everythings waiting for you

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
