He was warmin' his hands with a hot coffee cup Pourin' in whiskey as I walked up he never blinked an eye He just asked for a light, I noticed he didn't have soles on his shoes So I pulled out a twenty said go buy some food But he just stared at his cup like I wasn't there Then he looked at me said 'Son that's nice But there's some things money can't buy', [chorus] I want my life back, I want that house that I called home, I want that job I worked for twenty two years before I got laid off, I want what I had when I laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me And the man I used to be, I want my life back I walked through the door and sat down at the bar Had a shot and a beer lit up a cigar it ran through my head, Every word that old man said I had a woman that loved me with all of her heart But my pride and my temper made it all fall apart I was to headstrong to admit when I was wrong It's been six months since she moved out Guess my pride ain't helping me now [chorus 2] I want my life back, I want that house that I called home, I want to hear her voice and see her face every day when I get off I want what I had when I laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me And the man I used to be, I want my life back [bridge] I paid my tab and left that bar Grabbed my phone jumped in my car I dialed her number and when she said hello ... I said [chorus 3] I want my life back, I want that house that I called home, I want to hear your voice and see your face every day when I get off I want what I had when I laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me And the man I used to be, I want my life back ... I want my life back. |
