In My Own Backyard - Joe Diffie
Written by：Diffie/Joe/Phillips/Kerry Kurt/Spooner/Andy/Wilson/Lonnie
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 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 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
You'd never know it now
But I used to have
It all
Once I had everything
In my own back yard
