I want my life back

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'.
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.
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
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,
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.
