BUCKY COVINGTON lyrics : "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',

{chorus}

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

{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 the 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 ... I said



{chorus 3}

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.
