Diffie Joe - In My Own Backyard

I thought that life was running off, leaving me behind


So like a fool I jumped the fence


Just to see what I could find


But love kept disappearing


Like children chasing fireflies 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


Laughing at the kids and me all soaking wet


From washing 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


But they can’t kill the memory


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 looking 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 laughing at the kids and me


All soaking wet from washing that old car


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





Whoa, you’d never know it now but I used to have it all


Once I had everything… in my own backyard
