I Want My Life Back

Lyrics

He was warmin' his hands with a hot coffee cup
 And 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
 I want my life back, I want that house that I called home
 I want that job I worked for 22 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 that 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 too headstrong to admit when I was wrong
 It's been 6 months since she moved out
 Guess my pride ain't helping me now
 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 that man I used to be
 I want my life back
 I paid my tab and left that bar
 I grabbed my phone, jumped in my car
 I dialed her number and when she said hello, I said
 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
