Man Like Me

This is the night I've been dreaming of forever

The mirror takes a look at my face

I'll never set foot in that rat hole again

But I'll drive to your place

I spit gravel as I back out of the back door

And the twenties roll around in my hand

It's funny now, when I don't show up on Monday

They'll go nuts, and eat their hats, well, what do you think of that?

She says, you're throwing life away

To move with a man like me

She's not blind

She just don't have mind to see

This is a habit I'm breaking now forever

I'm weary from trying to shake it

So when I ask if you won't give me your hand

I'll take it right now from your mother's side of town

She says, you're throwing life away

To move with a man like me

She's not blind

She just don't have a mind to see

She says, you're throwing life away

To move with a man like me

Just to move with a man like me
