Am G
He was warmin his hands with a hot coffee cup
Am G Am G
Pourin in whiskey as I walked up he never blinked an eye
F Am G
He just asked for a light I noticed he didn't have soles on his shoes
Am G
So I pulled out a twenty said go buy some food
Am G F
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
[Refrão]Chorus

I want my life back I want that house that I called home

I want what I had when I laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me
G F G Am
And that man I used to be I want my life back
Am G
I walked through the door and sat down at the bar
Am G Am G
Had a shot and a beer lit up a cigar it ran through my head
F Am G
Every word that old man said
Am G
I had a woman that loved me with all of her heart
Am G F
But my pride and my temper made it all fall apart

I was to headstrong to admit when I was wrong
C G
It's been 6 months since she moved out
Guess my pride ain't helping me now
[Refrão]
