My Old Back Yard

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
