Kenny Chesney - The Tin Man Lyrics






Saw a man in the movies that didn't have a heart
How I wish I could give him mine
Then I wouldn't have to feel it breaking all apart
And this emptiness inside would suit me fine

It's times like these
I wish I were a tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And I'd never even know
I'd give anything just to be the tin man
And I wouldn't have a heart and I wouldn't need a soul

I couldn't see your leavin' comin'
You took me by surprise
Even now it still seems like a dream
But I know I can't be dreamin'
'Cause as I lay down each night
The pain so great that it won't let me sleep

It's times like these
I wish I were a tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And I'd never even know
I'd give anything just to be the tin man
And I wouldn't have a heart and I wouldn't need a soul
Well I'd give anything just to be the tin man
And I wouldn't have a heart and I wouldn't miss you so

    Hey Jack hope your ok miss you doing songs

  20. M.... N....

    It’s actually been long enough that people can remake greats from the 90’s I miss Kenny. I know he’s still on the radio. And I still like his music. But I miss the love songs. The beach bum phase has lasted way to long. Still he is one of my vocal heroes.

  21. H.... ....

    Absolutely

  22. C.... N....

    I didn't realize how young I was when this album released

  23. C.... W....

    I have an oil can

  24. V.... R....

    Kenny Chesney...... WOW!

  25. A.... ....

    After 11 years alone, I'd gladly give mine to someone who could get better use from it so I could be a tin man; instead of it rusting away in my chest from disuse because no one wants it.

  26. K.... C....

    Wow I am the tin man but Iam lady!!! (:(((

  27. M.... M....

    Beautiful song ......

  33. F.... D....

    Maybe, just maybe, pain will go away someday. Until then, that's me.

  34. D.... B....

    KENNY CHESNEY THE TIN MAN A GREAT SONG I WISH I WAS A TIN MAN YOU CANT HURT ME ALL YOU WANT

  35. R.... ....

    My wish is to be like the tin man honestly, my happiest moments in life don’t compensate for the devastating hurt I’ve experienced.

  36. S.... S....

    You were beautiful as a boy n still are as a man. No more tin man makes me sad n cry

  37. K.... K....

    Chesney should've never strayed away from this style of country music.
    Best song he ever recorded.

  38. M.... H....

    I liked his music before he moved to the beach.

  39. R.... '....

    "... Turn the Kenny up loud, Tin Man cause that's kind of how I'm feeling now" - The Lacs

  40. J.... M....

    I wish he would have stuck with this, real country music.

  41. S.... D....

    I'm feeling horrible now , I can't sleep I can't eat scant concentrate I'm lost without my woman, we have a 9 year old daughter together, I been good to her very good , I'm confused and don't know what I did wrong , they say if you love someone strong enough you would do anything to keep them , all I do is cry, I'm hurting , any advice

  42. A.... D....

    I play and sang this at this club

  43. S.... B....

    When Country was still Country. Good tune, carries a strong message

  44. B.... E....

    My ex-fiancé loved this song!!!!!! Her life ended two days ago!!!! Depression sucks.....alcohol sucks!!!!! And the 2 together is a lethal concoction!!!!! RIP Kim....you will always be the love of my life!!!!

    B.... E....

    Im so sorry for your loss! Going through the depression and alcohol myself. Got it all materialistic wise, but it doesn't buy happiness.

  45. C.... P....

    Singing from the heart. Damn it Kenny. I want more of your roots.

    C.... P....

    Well hello hello hello

  46. B.... E....

    I would really love to see a woman to hurt me or a man tired of giving and not receiving the real heart from anyone but my kids i gave my REAL LOVE AND HEART TO TO CARRY ON MY LEGACEY

  49. J.... R....

    I can relate way too much...damn....I miss my beautiful ex wife...always be the only woman ill ever love...love u baby

    J.... R....

    What happened hoss? Why did you let it end?

  50. S.... O....

    When I arrived at CU Law in Boulder, CO August of 1990 my first day at the law school I noticed a sign at the entrance to the library which was written latin which I could not read and understand. So I asked the librarian what it meant and she said "you are not in Kansas anymore". At the time, I was not aware of the Wizard of Oz movie, so I said "Yes we are in Boulder." Obviously I had a lot to learn, beyond the law at law school.... Therefore, this song means a lot to me.

  51. M.... J....

    I never heard this song till right now I like it thank you Kenny I love I I feel like that wish I was the tin man

  52. D.... H....

    I've always been the tin man

    I'm listening and still loving this Beautiful song ❤️ December 18, 2019

  58. M.... L....

    When Kenny was country. A beautiful song!

    M.... L....

    Mary Leverock yes, when Me my was country today he's not oh my opinion

    M.... L....

    Wanda Alvarez his new music is beginning to grow on me. While not as country as this, I believe he still tries to go back to his roots!

    M.... L....

    ??? What? Seriously? Once country always country! He's country and yes he has some islander laid back tunes but still with his humble country soul. As long as he keeps singing his words will be food for the soul, just wonder if he's like that as a real person...

  59. L.... R....

    Broken. Hearts ♥️. Suck. !!

  60. L.... R....

    Love the TINMAN. & TINWOMAN

  61. C.... P....

    2018 anyone?

  62. M.... C....

    I have been wishing here for the last couple of weeks that I could be that little old tin man sitting out back in my flower bed all he does is stand in that same spot day and night doesn't really do anything but I love that little old tin man my mom put him there a few years back b4 she passed an that really tore me up the day she went but I know she's not gone even tho i know she made it to heaven she is a part of that little old tin man an when Im hurt from words or fighting I just look at that little old man an ask God why I couldn't be more like that little old tin man he has nothing to hold on to an no worries

  63. D.... M....

    I feel like the Tin Man someone has my Heart that is far away from me 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

    D.... M....

    Im only in Virginia babe! Its not like im in chiner

  64. C.... B....

    This song is true country music wish he was still singing songs like this

  65. C.... ....

    This song is so true....with the wife and kids gone...what is a man to do when he only wanted to work and take of them and had a heart full of love for them all....

  66. R.... L....

    I wish I was a tin man. My heart is so broken. Didn't see it coming.

    R.... L....

    Why honey? Cheer up, im here to help you through it

  67. C.... M....

    great singer and song xx

  68. C.... R....

    Beautiful Song!!! Kenny Chesney and Miranda Lambert together for Tin Man 😉😉😉

  69. M.... R....

    Love this song i grew to be a tin man i did have a heart not anymore some people olny use you and when nothings left they disregard you oh well being a tin man isn't all that bad no more hurt AMEN

    M.... R....

    In my years, all 66 of them, I have been broken many times. I have found that those without a heart cannot stand that you have one. So they lie, use and abuse, the kind heart. If you let them make you bitter, that is their objective. Don't let them win. Be kind in all things. Be joyful when you aren't and spend time with Jesus. You are worthy, you are loved. Don't sink to their levels. Thats what they wanted all along.

    M.... R....

    I agree I am a Tin Woman

  70. J.... J....

    Roll Tide

  71. K.... M....

    L.... R....

    So so sorry Lana I lost my son almost 2 years ago ..We as mothers never recover we just live a life that is different. Kenny's other song called different which stays in my head and heart along with this Tin Man. Sending you blessings and prayers .God Bless

    L.... R....

    @jeremy robinson Jeremy Robinson shout out and ask Jesus to come into your heart and believe me he will it's okay to talk out loud Jesus I do it everyday and no I'm not what they call in Jesus freak I just believe he is here for me and for anyone that lets him in I do believe he relays our messages to his Father so don't give up and keep trying God bless

    L.... R....

    I am so sorry. I pray the Lord heals you.

    L.... R....

    I'm sorry bout your son, all us men tho,k about suicide cause No one really loves us

    P.... W....

    At how i feel like

  90. A.... V....

    I don't think this comment will go anywhere but... my brother needs a new heart, he was born with half of a heart and this song came on and it was weird because my dad started calling him the tin man and got a tattoo of the tin man with his face a couple days before we heard this song.... anyway great song. I get why he wouldn't want a heart to feel anymore but i'm sure he would be glad to take it :)

    A.... V....

    Andrew Vazquez I'm sorry about that. Praying

    A.... V....

    Hope your brother got that heart

    A.... V....

    So sorry to hear that. I pray that her gets one.

  91. M.... ....
