Jayhawks, The - The Man Who Loved Life Lyrics
Won't you take my hand
Won't you be my friend
Take my advice, go away
When the days get short and the chips are down
Will you be there, will you stick around
And if thou shalt give
Thou shalt be deceived
This traveling band was not well received
No open arms, or reception lines
Just handlebars wearing five point stars
Am I living in your dream
We got the guns, we got the guns
A thousand to one, a thousand to one
He's the man, he's the man
Served by different stories
Am I living in your dream
Pretty metal green
Can I ride upon your wings so free
In the canyon walls there's a trusty lot
The stakes were high
And the sun was hot
You can rest assured as the casinos rise
Buzz around my ears like the dragonflies
Served by different shores
Am I living in your dream
Pretty metal green
Am I living in your dream so real
Heard a million stories
Am I living in your dream, yeah
Pretty metal green
Am I living in your dream, yeah

Jayhawks, The The Man Who Loved Life Comments
This band should have been even bigger, relatively unknown in the U.K.
I have 3 of their cd's, and they sound as fresh today as when they were released. Musically superior to almost anything in the current charts.
Great band but sadly a little on the decline-its called age. Seen them 5 or so times but the best was on the Smile tour Gary resplendent in a white suit. Started off with Settled Down Like Rain and my God it sounded magnificent.
Like the bass player, always sets back, does his job and is super cool doing it!!
Amazing
By the way, Gary, some badass tone there. Keep it up!
Was just listening to this CD this morning. That's right! I've had it since it came out. Love The Jayhawks!
Beautiful song. Beautiful band.
missing mark
...Simply awesome, come back to the UK soon guys....
Seen The jayhawks live several times here in the UK. This song is my all time favourite of theirs, and this live version proves that the song continues to mature like a fine wine. Blissful....just love it.
I'm afraid I've fallen hopelessly in love with the violinist ... now what?!?
I wish. It's never gonna happen (in this life)
I'd rather answer that in a DM or something LOL
@Valentyna Belofsky She is a pretty young lady!!!
@Valentyna Belofsky Who is she? Jessy who?
@Rob Ferguson Jessy Greene. She's a goddess
Beatlesque, love it. love the melody. so atmospheric...
I wish I could curl up inside this song and just stay there.
How good is this?
They are one of my favorite live bands! So I think they can do better though it's my first time to listen to the live version of this song.
Emocionantes, como siempre.
Beautiful song from under-rated album
Great band and still as good as they were and sounding awesome
We got the guns !
Saw this band live with Shawn Mullin's about maybe 5 years ago they are great live.
sounds as pure now as it did over 15 years ago "this traveling band was not well received" INDEED
F'in great!
I've always loved these guys. Still great!
We will always love them
Real good song...
