Another Man
Bout to hit the road again
Try this gig one more time
Cause what I do for a living
Drives her out of her mind
The late night singing
The all night drinking
It’s all part of her pain
Its killing me – we may never be the same
Cause when I’m on the road
This crazy thing starts to take hold
The songs I’m singing – start to feed my troubled soul
What I’ve become - I hate the man I am
Girl I’m trying – o I’m trying
To be another man
Another man
All the promises I made
And all the hearts I’ve broke
Yea - you know me so well
Strumming this old guitar
Has guaranteed my day in hell
So many nights I’d tried to deny – I tried to hide
Hell, I couldn’t even hide it from my self
Girl, I swear you can believe in me
God knows ill need your help
Cause when I’m on the road
This crazy thing starts to take hold
The songs I’m singing – start to feed my troubled soul
What I’ve become - I hate the man I am
Girl I’m trying – o I’m trying
To be another man
[Bridge]
I know you’re dying
Lord knows I’m trying
To kill the monster and be your man
Kill the pain - I feel insane
Hell, I don’t even know who I am
Cause when I’m out on the road
This thing takes hold
What I’m singing feeds my troubled soul
What I’ve become - I hate the man I am
Girl I’m trying – o I’m trying
To be another man –
Another man
I’ll be your man
Another man
