Bucky Covington - 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
