《In My Own Backyard(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] In My Own Backyard - Joe Diffie

[00:00:12] I thought that life was runnin' off

[00:00:17] Leavin' me behind

[00:00:21] So like a fool I jumped the fence

[00:00:26] Just to see what I could find

[00:00:31] But love kept disappearing like

[00:00:34] Children chasing fire flies in the dark

[00:00:43] And to think that I once had it all

[00:00:47] In my own backyard

[00:00:56] You'd never know it now but I used to have it all

[00:01:05] A swing set and a plastic pool a shaggy dog

[00:01:09] That lived to fetch a ball

[00:01:14] An angel with a glass of tea laughin' at the kids and me

[00:01:20] All soakin' wet from washin' that old car

[00:01:26] And to think that I once had it all in my own backyard

[00:01:38] That bare spot's grown over

[00:01:43] Where third base used to be

[00:01:47] And the weeds have choked out all the flowers

[00:01:51] They can't kill the memories

[00:01:57] Lord I'd love to run back home

[00:02:01] But there's no one there for me

[00:02:09] And that grass I used to hate to mow

[00:02:14] Sure is lookin' green

[00:02:21] You'd never know it now but I used to have it all

[00:02:31] A swing set and a plastic pool a shaggy dog

[00:02:35] That lived to fetch a ball

[00:02:40] An angel with a glass of tea laughin' at the kids and me

[00:02:45] All soakin' wet from washin' that old car

[00:02:52] And to think that I once had it all in my own backyard

[00:03:02] Ahhh you'd never know it now but I used to have it all all all

[00:03:18] Once I had everything

[00:03:20] In my own backyard
