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
