The Man I'Ve Never Met

I met a man who was never married Said it was the one regret he carried I met another man who married thrice Claimed they were the three mistakes in his life I met a man, told me drugs were his ruin Stole his ambition, were his undoing Knew another proclaimed drugs his true love Dead at nineteen, gave a needle a shove I met a man who worshipped his money Stole so much he’s doing ten to twenty I met another man who was ragged and poor Hard hearted, mean and rotten to the core I met a man who could not get along With son’s that he thought were living life wrong Knew another man so rigid and tight His life was consumed by anger and fights But the man that I have still never met The man who chose Jesus and claims regret
