Fraction Of A Man Lyrics - Shawn Mullins

Now my old friend Harry 

Never slowed down to marry 

He's in sales 

He's gone most of the year 

And he smiles through all those lies 

With dollar signs in his eyes 

He orders himself another beer 

Now Harry, he's a dreamer 

And a scholar and a schemer 

But he'll be there for you 

When push comes to shove 

His mama called him Harold 

She was one of only two women 

That Harry ever loved 

The other was a waitress 

In Cave Creek, Arizona 

That broke his heart 

And tangled up his mind 

My old friend Harry 

Looking kinda scary 

Wonders if he's runnin' out of time 

Now Biloxi, he's got a sadness 

Like a dark day in December 

But Harry recognizes 

An old forgotten southern times 

Thumbing through the phone book 

For a name he can't remember 

Lookin' desperate like a junkie 

Waitin' for a fix to come around 

Sittin', playin' blackjack 

With a hooker and a tourist 

And a one eyed dealer winnin' every hand 

Harry sips Black Label 

Slumps down at the table 

Feelin' like a fraction of a man 

Feelin' like a fraction of a man
