Your Own Back Yard Dion

I've been sitting here, thinking
About when I started in drinking
I went on the dope
It surely did change my life

I cried a tear in a beer for me
I lost everything near and dear to me
Namely 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
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
