Little Man

Well I got me a distant story

So I wrote me a distant tune

Of how they used to bask in the glory

And how I wished that I could too

Little man, be here tomorrow

They said they could change my ways

But instead they tried to stone me

And I been sleeping right here for a hundred days

Lying, giving in

Trying to get my day on through

Low town, going down

Ain't got nobody to save me

Now you know it's hard to stop

Getting down from burning up

Now you know it's hard to stop

Quit trying, baby

Just get somebody to save you

So I ran from here to El Paso

And arrived about half past June

Just in time for them to burn me

I think I woke up a little too soon

Little man, if you're a preacher

Oh then why you been looking so sad?

He struck a match and then he burned me

Another honest man gone bad

Lying, giving in

Trying to get my day on through

Low town, going down

Ain't got nobody to save me

Now you know it's hard to stop

Getting down from burning up

Now you know it's hard to stop

Quit trying, baby

Just get somebody to save you

Now you know it's hard to stop

Getting down from burning up

Now you know it's hard to stop

Quit trying, baby

Just get somebody to
