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.
