Life I Wanted

Woke up with the daylight after a good day and a long night

I'm tired, but it's alright, I'm living again

Loading up the rental and trying to be gentle

With my sister on the telephone, she's feeling down again

I got the life that I wanted

And I'll have some time in August

You're out of my sight, but you're sure on my mind

I promise

I just missed the pool hours, so I settle for a hot shower

A single cigarette and a happy hour all to myself

Tomorrow, hit the highway, Denver then an airplane

Calgary then a time change, and I'll be back at home with you

I got the life that I wanted

And I'll have some time in August

You're out of my sight, but you're sure on my mind

I promise

And when I'm away

I hope you don't feel like it's part-time, babe

Yeah, when I'm away

I hope you don't feel like it's part-time, babe

I got the life that I wanted

And I'll have some time in August

You're out of my sight, but you're sure on my mind

I promise

You're out of my sight, but you're sure on my mind

I promise
