In My Own Backyard - Joe Diffie

I thought that life was runnin' off

Leavin' 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 laughin' at the kids and me

All soakin' wet from washin' that old car

And to think that I once had it all in my own backyard

That bare spot's grown over

Where third base used to be

And the weeds have choked out all the flowers

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 lookin' green

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 laughin' at the kids and me

All soakin' wet from washin' that old car

And to think that I once had it all in my own backyard

Ahhh you'd never know it now but I used to have it all all all

Once I had everything

In my own backyard
