Dion - Your Own Back Yard lyrics

I've been sitting here, thinking

About when I started in drinking

I went on to dope

It surely did change my life

I cried a tear in a beer for me

I lost everything near and dear to me

Mainly my children and my wife

My idea of having a good time

Was sitting with my head

Between my knees

I knew everything there was to know

Everything except which way to go

I cried, oh, God, take me

Will you, please

Many a time

I swore up and down

I didn't need any of this junk

That was going round

I can quit

Let me finish what I got

After all, this stuff

Sure costs a lot

Then I'll get my feet

Back on the ground

I can't tell nobody

How to live their life

Even though inside

We're all the same

All those things are toys

I was playing with

You know we're all losers

In that game

Now since I've been straight

I haven't been in my cups

I'm not shooting downs

I'm not using ups

You know I'm still

As crazy as a loon

Even though I don't run out

And cop a spoon

But thank the good lord

God, I had enough

Now, I got a friend

His name is Richard Grands

He says you don't need

To be stoned to grow a friend

Believe me

You're all beautiful people

Just the way you are

Tell me, what has that

Stuff done for you so far, yeah

I've been sitting here thinking

Been winking, I been blinking

I don't have to sit around

No more and nod

I can do anything

That I wanna do

I do it straight

I do it so much better too

And it's, it's gotta start

Right in your own backyard

I said it's gotta start

Right in your own backyard

You know everybody has

Their own beautiful backyard

You might have oil wells

In your own back yard

Yeah, your own backyard...
