Song About A Man Lyrics - Born On Flag Day - Deer Tick

How can a man feel anything 

When all he ever got was sympathy? 

Take both your hands and put them round my neck 

You're a fool for wanting everything 

It couldn't be much fun being a millionaire to one 

Cause a million's just a million of one thing 

Cutting to the chase, I suppose there'll be a day 

When all your tired hands will be put to shame 

I've got a restless old woman standing by my side 

She cannot wait for the finer things in life 

She waited all this time so I suppose she has the right 

But I drank away all the things I could provide 

All of that aside I never meant to make her cry 

But crying is just the baby inside 

The ones that mess around that tend to fuss and bring us down 

Tugging at your lips to make you frown 

So my grandson will be living with a chip on his shoulder 

And God don't listen to his prayers anymore 

I hope he understands when he's a little bit older 

That I always wished the best for him 

Sing a lullaby in the morning when I rise 

Sing it 'til I'm far away from here 

If this can be my chance to feel it once in my life 

Then sing it brother, cause I don't even care
