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 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 to headstrong to admit when i was wrong It's been 6 months since she moved out Guess my pride aint 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 that 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
