wasn't our dock

Talking of a backyard paradise
Our hometown and how proud beliefs and dreams
I looked at him from my lawn chair
And I said
There aint no place like this in the whole wide world
There aint nothing like these American girls
I got what I love and love what I got
We only got a little
But it sure is a lot

Well I slowly got up
And prepared to leave
I saw a shooting star that complimented the breeze
I gave you a hug and all my best
Cause I knew you were ready for what was coming next
I stepped back looked at you and said
I love you Chris you’re my boy til the end
I’ll never forget what we spoke of while we drank
All we said is all what I’ve sang

Talking of a backyard paradise
Our hometown and how proud beliefs and dreams
I looked at him from my lawn chair
And I said
There aint no place like this in the whole wide world
There aint nothing like these American girls
I got what I love and love what I got
We only got a little
But it sure is a lot

Then he came to me with a legitimate plea
Jer, you’ve gotta help me
Help me believe what I’m doing is right
Give me the strength the guts and the courage to fight

I told him to say

Lord knows
This is what I’m supposed to do
Lord knows
I’ll come home in one piece
Lord help me
See this through
Lord I thank you
For all you’ve given to me

Talking of a backyard paradise
Our hometown and how proud beliefs and dreams
I looked at him from my lawn chair
And I said
There aint no place like this in the whole wide world
There aint nothing like these American girls
I got what I love and love what I got
We only got a little
But it sure is a lot
