Dave Bell - My Old Back Yard Lyrics

My Old Back Yard

Well I'm sitting in my old back yard
In the light of the setting sun
And I'm watching people pass by
Just wondering why just wondering
If they are at peace with the world
Just wondering
If they are at peace with the world

I nod and smile and wave
As I sit here in my early grave
And as I watch them fade away
I'm wondering today
I'm wondering if they are at peace with the world
Yeah I'm wondering if they are at peace with the world

I'm wondering if they are at peace with the world
Yeah I'm wondering if they are at peace with the world

I take a good look at myself
And what I've become
I was a teenage hero at seventeen
Spaced out on a bottle of rum
And I think to myself that now I'm at peace with the world
And I think to myself well now I'm at peace with the world

As the sun goes down and the night draws in
I look to the sky and I think where I been
Travelled far but not quite reached my star
And I think to myself what the hell I'm at peace with the world
And I think to myself aw to hell with the world
