He was warmin' his hands with a hot coffee cup
Dia menghangatkan tangannya dengan secangkir kopi panas
Pourin' in whiskey as I walked up he never blinked an eye
Menuangkan whiskey saat aku mendekat, dia bahkan tidak berkedip
He just asked for a light, I noticed he didn't have soles on his shoes
Dia hanya minta korek api, aku perhatikan sol sepatunya sudah hilang
So I pulled out a twenty said go buy some food
Aku mengeluarkan uang dua puluh dolar dan bilang, "Beli makanan ya"
But he just stared at his cup like I wasn't there
Tapi dia hanya menatap cangkirnya seolah aku tidak ada
Then he looked at me said 'Son that's nice
Lalu dia melihatku dan berkata, "Nak, itu baik"
But there's some things money can't buy',
Tapi ada hal-hal yang tidak bisa dibeli dengan uang,"

[chorus]
I want my life back, I want that house that I called home,
Aku ingin hidupku kembali, aku ingin rumah yang kutinggali
I want that job I worked for twenty two years before I got laid off,
Aku ingin pekerjaan yang kutekuni selama dua puluh dua tahun sebelum di-PHK
I want what I had when I laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me
Aku ingin apa yang kumiliki saat berbaring di pelukan wanita yang percaya padaku
And the man I used to be, I want my life back
Dan sosok pria yang dulu, aku ingin hidupku kembali

I walked through the door and sat down at the bar
Aku melangkah masuk dan duduk di bar
Had a shot and a beer lit up a cigar it ran through my head,
Minum sebotol dan bir, menyalakan cerutu, semua itu terlintas di pikiranku
Every word that old man said
Setiap kata yang diucapkan lelaki tua itu
I had a woman that loved me with all of her heart
Aku punya wanita yang mencintaiku sepenuh hati
But my pride and my temper made it all fall apart
Tapi harga diri dan amarahku membuat segalanya hancur
I was too headstrong to admit when I was wrong
Aku terlalu keras kepala untuk mengakui saat aku salah
It's been six months since she moved out
Sudah enam bulan sejak dia pergi
Guess my pride ain't helping me now
Sepertinya harga diriku tidak membantuku sekarang

[chorus 2]
I want my life back, I want that house that I called home,
Aku ingin hidupku kembali, aku ingin rumah yang kutinggali
I want to hear her voice and see her face every day when I get off
Aku ingin mendengar suaranya dan melihat wajahnya setiap hari saat pulang
I want what I had when I laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me
Aku ingin apa yang kumiliki saat berbaring di pelukan wanita yang percaya padaku
And the man I used to be, I want my life back
Dan sosok pria yang dulu, aku ingin hidupku kembali

[bridge]
I paid my tab and left that bar
Aku membayar tagihanku dan meninggalkan bar itu
Grabbed my phone jumped in my car
Mengambil ponselku dan melompat ke mobilku
I dialed her number and when she said hello ... I said
Aku menekan nomor teleponnya dan saat dia menjawab "halo"... aku berkata

[chorus 3]
I want my life back, I want that house that I called home,
Aku ingin hidupku kembali, aku ingin rumah yang kutinggali
I want to hear your voice and see your face every day when I get off
Aku ingin mendengar suaramu dan melihat wajahmu setiap hari saat pulang
I want what I had when I laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me
Aku ingin apa yang kumiliki saat berbaring di pelukan wanita yang percaya padaku
And the man I used to be, I want my life back ... I want my life back.
Dan sosok pria yang dulu, aku ingin hidupku kembali... aku ingin hidupku kembali.
