YOUR OWN BACKYARD

Dion Dimucci

I've been sittin' here thinkin'

'Bout 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

1 cried "Oh God take me will You please"

Many a time I swore up and down

I didn't need all this junk that was going round

I can quit but let me finish what I got

After 311 this stuff sure costs a lot

Then Ill get my feet back on the ground

I can't tell anybody how to live their life

even though inside we're all the same

all those things are toys we're playing with

you know we're all losers in the that game

Since I've been straight and haven't been in my cups

I'm not shooting downs or using ups

you know I'm still crazy as a loon

even though I don't run out and cop a spoon

but thank the good lord god I had enough

I got a friend his name is Richard grands

he says you don't need to be stoned to grow a friend

you're all beautiful people the way you are

tell me what has that stuff done for you so far

I've been sittin' here winkin and a blinkin

I don't have to sit around no more and nod

I can do anything I wanna do

do it straight and do it so much better to

it's gotta start right in your own backyard
