Lyrics
The Man I Feel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes I'd like to vanish
And feel the pressure drop
I'd exchange my life with someone else
And still come out on top
With the world upon my shoulders
And my shoulder to the wheel
I can take what I am given
I can keep what I can steal
Why is the man I feel never the man I dream?
Lookin' straight ahead when I hate to see where I have been
Why is the man I dream never the man you see?
I was lookin' to you for the clue to the man I could be
And I wish I was a cowboy
Riding through this rugged land
I could stuff my bag with canned goods
And insure my shooting hand
I'd be mean and I'd be crazy
I'd be ignorant and rude
And I'd stare into the sunset
To create that lonesome mood
Why is the man I feel never the man I dream?
Lookin' straight ahead when I hate to see where I have been
Why is the man I dream never the man you see?
I was lookin' to you for the clue to the man I could be
Why is the man I feel never the man I dream?
Lookin' straight ahead when I hate to see where I have been
Why is the man I dream never the man you see?
I was lookin' to you for the clue to the man I could be
