Original text with translation

Your Own Back Yard

Dion

I’ve been sitting here, thinking

About when I started in drinking

I went on to 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

Now since I’ve been straight I haven’t been in my cups

I’m not shooting downs, I’m not using ups

You know I’m still as crazy as a loon

Even though I don’t run out and cop a spoon

But thank the good lord, God, I had enough

(Had enough)

Now, I got a friend, his name is Richard Grands

He says you don’t need to be stoned to grow a friend

Believe me you’re all beautiful people just the way you are

Tell me, what has that stuff done for you so far, yeah

I’ve been sitting here thinking

Been winking, I been blinking

I don’t have to sit around no more and nod

With my nose in the eggs, you know

I can do anything that I wanna do

I do it straight I do it so much better too

And it’s, it’s gotta start right in your own backyard

I said it’s gotta start right in your own backyard

You know everybody has their own beautiful backyard

You might have oil wells in your own back yard

Yeah, your own backyard…
