I Want My Life Back Lyrics - Good Guys - Bucky Covington

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
