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
