Lyric
Turn left at the old hotelI know this boulevard much too well It hasn’t changed since I’ve been gone Oh, this used to be my way homeThey paved the road through the neighborhoodI guess the county finally fixed it good It was gettin’ rough Someone finally complained enoughFight the tears back with a smileStop and look for a little while Oh, it’s plain to see The only thing missing is meThat’s my house and that’s my carThat’s my dog in my backyard There’s the window to the room Where she lays her pretty head I planted that tree out by the fence Not long after we moved in There’s my kids and that’s my wife But who’s that man running my life?If I pulled in would it cause a scene?They’re not really expecting me Those kids have been through hell I hear they’ve adjusted wellTurn around in the neighbor’s driveI’d be hard to recognize In this pickup truck It’s just an old fixer upDrive away one more timeA lot of things runnin’ through my mind I guess the less things change The more they never seem the sameThat’s my house and that’s my carThat’s my dog in my backyard There’s the window to the room Where she lays her pretty head I planted that tree out by the fence Not long after we moved in There’s my kids and that’s my wife But who’s that man running my life?Yeah, that’s my house and that’s my carThat’s my dog in my backyard There’s the window to the room Where she lays her pretty head I planted that tree out by the fence Not long after we moved in There’s my kids and that’s my wife But 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?)
