In My Own Backyard

In My Own Backyard

(الألبوم: Honky Tonk Attitude - 1993)

I thought that life was running off,
leaving me behind.
So like a fool I jumped the fence,
Just to see what I could find.
But love kept disappearing like
Children chasing fire flies in the dark.
And to think that I once had it all,
In my own backyard.

You'd never know it now, but I used to have it all.
A swing set and a plastic pool, a shaggy dog that lived to fetch a ball.
An angel with a glass of tea, laughing at the kids and me,
All soaking wet from washing that old car.
And to think that I once had it all, in my own backyard.

That bare spot's grown over now,
Where third base used to be.
And the weeds have choked out all the flowers,
But they can't kill the memories.
Lord, I'd love to run back home,
But there's no one there for me.
And that grass I used to hate to mow,
Sure is looking green.

Ohh, you'd never know it now, but I used to have it all.
A swing set and a plastic pool, a shaggy dog that lived to fetch a ball.
An angel with a glass of tea, laughing at the kids and me,
all soaking wet from washing that old car.
And to think that I once had it all, in my own backyard.

You'd never know it now, but I used to have it all,all, all
[Spoken]
Once I had everything,

In my own back yard.....
