In My Own Backyard - Joe Diffie[00:00:00]
I thought that life was runnin' off[00:00:12]
Leavin' me behind[00:00:17]
So like a fool I jumped the fence[00:00:21]
Just to see what I could find[00:00:26]
But love kept disappearing like[00:00:31]
Children chasing fire flies in the dark[00:00:34]
And to think that I once had it all[00:00:43]
In my own backyard[00:00:47]
You'd never know it now but I used to have it all[00:00:56]
A swing set and a plastic pool a shaggy dog[00:01:05]
That lived to fetch a ball[00:01:09]
An angel with a glass of tea laughin' at the kids and me[00:01:14]
All soakin' wet from washin' that old car[00:01:20]
And to think that I once had it all in my own backyard[00:01:26]
That bare spot's grown over[00:01:38]
Where third base used to be[00:01:43]
And the weeds have choked out all the flowers[00:01:47]
They can't kill the memories[00:01:51]
Lord I'd love to run back home[00:01:57]
But there's no one there for me[00:02:01]
And that grass I used to hate to mow[00:02:09]
Sure is lookin' green[00:02:14]
You'd never know it now but I used to have it all[00:02:21]
A swing set and a plastic pool a shaggy dog[00:02:31]
That lived to fetch a ball[00:02:35]
An angel with a glass of tea laughin' at the kids and me[00:02:40]
All soakin' wet from washin' that old car[00:02:45]
And to think that I once had it all in my own backyard[00:02:52]
Ahhh you'd never know it now but I used to have it all all all[00:03:02]
Once I had everything[00:03:18]
In my own backyard[00:03:20]
