Lyrics
Turn left at the old hotel
I know this boulevard much too well
It hasn’t changed since I’ve been gone
Oh, this used to be my way home
They paved the road through the neighborhood
I guess the county finally fixed it good
It was gettin’ rough
Someone finally complained enough
Fight the tears back with a smile
Stop and look for a little while
Oh, it’s plain to see
The only thing missing is me
That’s my house and that’s my car
That’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 well
Turn around in the neighbor’s drive
I’d be hard to recognize
In this pickup truck
It’s just an old fixer up
Drive away one more time
A lot of things runnin’ through my mind
I guess the less things change
The more they never seem the same
That’s my house and that’s my car
That’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 car
That’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?)
