The Meanest Man In The World Lyrics - Singles - Doe John

The wide wide open sky 

Above the sage and the thorns 

The rocks and pines were humming an old familiar tune 

His hard black boots came crunching up this gravel road 

He saw the house a mile away 

The moon was just setting 

The nights were darker then 

Lights in the living room 

He could recall that the tv was on 

But not if anyone was watching 

He never thought of himself as cruel 

He never thought of himself at all 

Kindness was always outside his grasp 

He was the meanest man in the world 

He was the meanest man in the world 

The door wasn't really locked 

The fire place was burning 

The room exploded like a bomb 

But all in slow motion 

Icicles hung from the roof 

He remember someone weeping 

Though it was sticky on the road 

He just kept on walking 

He never closed a door 

He never turned off a light 

He left things pretty much the way they were 

After he did what he did that night 

He never thought of himself as cruel 

He never thought of himself at all 

Kindness was always outside his grasp 

He was the meanest man in the world 

He was the meanest man in the world 

He was the meanest man in the world
