HE WAS WARMIN'
HIS HANDS
WITH AN OLD
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
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 TOO HEADSTRONG
TO ADMIT WHEN I
WAS WRONG
IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS
SINCE SHE MOVED OUT
GUESS MY PRIDE AIN'T
HELPIN' 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
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
