Rodney Crowell - The Man In Me Lyrics
There's a man in me
He's cold and he's hard
He's got an eye for deception
He's always on guard
He's swimming in concrete
And he keeps it all locked in his heart
This man is a tyrant, a fault findin' hack
You can't tell him nothing
There's no turnin' back
He leaves blood on the highway and scattered debris
He crawls from the wreckage but he still doesn't see
He's alive
The man is jive
I don't like his looks
His teeth they are crooked
His hands are like hooks
He speaks 4 letter language
'Cause his mind is so small
His voice is like venom
I don't like him at all
God, I gotta get away from the man in me
She says
Now what are you afraid of?
There's no need to judge
You know I can help you
But you won't even budge
Pretty flowers surround you but all you can smell is a rat
She says
Now why you insist on your head in the sand
Building walls all around you, you don't understand
That these ways are outmoded, but all you can change is your hat
The man in me don't wanna know nothing about that
There's a man in the closet
He wants to come out
He wants to be noticed
But he's so full of doubt
He wants to be well known and famous
But he's so filled with pride
The keys to his fortune stay locked up inside
Can it be the man in me?
She says
Now what are you afraid of?
There's nothing to fear
You want me to help
But you won't let me near
In your heart you can hear me
But all you believe are your eyes
Tell me why you're convinced
That a fist in your face is all you deserve
From love you've misplaced
The truth is salvation
But all you believe in are lies
The man in me wants to believe, but he won't even try
There's man in me, and he's so full of hate
He's so misdirected
He thinks it's too late
He pours salt on the wounds
Only Time wants to heal
He's dyin' inside
And he don't wanna feel
Anything
The man is strange
Man
