Tall Proud Man
TALL PROUD MAN
Tall proud man walking a dusty road,
Face into setting sun,
Living in poverty,
Nowhere to go or run.
Tall proud man walking a dusty road,
Tears running down his cheeks,
No shirt on his burnt back,
No shoes on his sore feet.
Tall proud man walking a dusty road,
Fears running through his mind,
No food for family,
No respect for his kind.
Tall proud man walking a dusty road,
Working sun up to dusk,
Never got dime ahead,
For all his pain and work.
He was crying,
He was angry,
He was cursing,
Day he was born.
