Fight the tears back with a smile

I guess the county finally fixed it good

Someone finally complained enough

Lots of things go through my mind
That's my house and that's my car
That's my dog in my backyard

That's my dog in my backyard
In this pick-up truck
They paved the road through the neighborhood
It's just an old fixerup
That's my kids and that's my wife
They're not really expectin’ me
Who's that man, runnin' my life
I guess the less things change
Who's that man, runnin' my life
That's my dog in my backyard
That's my kids and that's my wife
It was gettin’ rough
Not long after we moved in
I'd be hard to recognize
If I pulled in would it cause a scene?

Not long after we moved in
That's my house and that's my car
I planted that tree out by the fence
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Drive away one more time

Oh, it's plain to see

Stop and look for a little while
The more they never seem the same
Oh, this use to be my way home
Turn around in the neighbor's drive
Where she lays her pretty head
There's the window to the room
I planted that tree out by the fence
It hasn't changed since I've been gone
Who's that man, runnin' my life
That's my kids and that's my wife
Where she lays her pretty head

That's my house and that's my car

The only thing missin’ is me
There's the window to the room

Who's that man, runnin' my life
Who's that man, runnin’ my life
Who's that man, runnin' my life
I hear they've adjusted well
Not long after we moved in
Those kids have been through hell
There's the window to the room
