"Life I Wanted" lyrics

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 outta 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 outta 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 outta my sight but you're sure on my mind
I promise
You're outta my sight but you're sure on my mind
I promise
