Intro: G Verse 1:
GI live on a country road in the Ctown where I was born. GI wake up every morning to the Dbirds singing their songs. GI get out of bed and walk Cover to my window. G I watch the Dbirds fly and Cthink Will they Dever be that happy Gagain?
Verse 2: Go down stairs to find the wife that I won. Sit down at the table and stare at my aged hands of 81. Open up the paper to the obituaries. I look at the faces and see if I recognize any. Chorus:
CThis is my life as a Gsuspicious man. CWhen everything's been stripped Gaway Dfrom these hands. GEveryone I loved has Ccome and gone. And to Gthink, maybe DI'll be the next Gone.
Verse 3: Get a call today from my only son. He tells me all about the city and says, "I'm sorry dad, but I just had to run." "I know i didn't turn out the way you wanted me to." "And I hope you still love me the way that I love you." Chorus:
CThis is my life as an Gangry man. CPeople disobey everyGthing I say anyDway they can. GEverything I've done has Cgone to dirt. And Gwhen I try my Dbest I just get Ghurt.
Verse 4: I go outside to buy me some time. I sit on the back porch with a beer in hand and my life in mind. Think about all the people I pushed under me. And I guess the only on eto blame is me. Chorus:
CThis is my life as a Gwasted man. CPushing everyone away so I can Gbe the one to grab that Dhelping hand. GIn my life I've lost everyCone I love From the Gthings I've Dsaid or the things I've Gdone.
Ending: G
