Lyric

Turn left at the old hotelI know this boulevard much too wellIt hasn’t changed since I’ve been goneOh, this used to be my way home
They paved the road through the neighborhoodI guess the county finally fixed it goodIt was gettin’ roughSomeone finally complained enough
Fight the tears back with a smileStop and look for a little whileOh, it’s plain to seeThe only thing missing is me
That’s my house and that’s my carThat’s my dog in my backyardThere’s the window to the roomWhere she lays her pretty headI planted that tree out by the fenceNot long after we moved inThere’s my kids and that’s my wifeBut who’s that man running my life?
If I pulled in would it cause a scene?They’re not really expecting meThose kids have been through hellI hear they’ve adjusted well
Turn around in the neighbor’s driveI’d be hard to recognizeIn this pickup truckIt’s just an old fixer up
Drive away one more timeA lot of things runnin’ through my mindI guess the less things changeThe more they never seem the same
That’s my house and that’s my carThat’s my dog in my backyardThere’s the window to the roomWhere she lays her pretty headI planted that tree out by the fenceNot long after we moved inThere’s my kids and that’s my wifeBut who’s that man running my life?
Yeah, that’s my house and that’s my carThat’s my dog in my backyardThere’s the window to the roomWhere she lays her pretty headI planted that tree out by the fenceNot long after we moved inThere’s my kids and that’s my wifeBut who’s that man running my life?
Who’s that man running my life?(Who’s that man?)(Who’s that man?) Who’s that man running my life?(Who’s that man?) Hmm-mm(Who’s that man?) Who’s that man running my life?(Who’s that man?)(Who’s that man?)
