Your Own Back Yard
de Dion
I′ve been sitting here, thinking
About when I started in drinking
I went on to dope
It surely did change my life, uh
I cried a tear in a beer for me
I lost everything near and dear to me
Mainly my children and my wife
Ah, 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
Yeah, yeah, yeah
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 (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
Ah, yeah, yeah
I've been sitting here thinking
Been winking, I been blinking
I don′t have to sit around
No more and nod
With my nose in the eggs, you know
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
