ANOTHER MAN

 

No he wouldn't see past yesterday

And he couldn't hear the words she'd say

He'd sit staring at a tv screen

Letting go of all his favorite dreams

Favorite dreams

And it slipped right through his fingers

And it fell out of his hands

And the days when he was younger

Went to another man

Went to another man

Ooooo

Ooooo

Ooooo

Ooooo

He called her his Texas beauty queen

Till one day his words turned hard and mean

There's only so much a heart can take

Before it spills out before it bends to break

And it slipped right through his fingers

And it fell out of his hands

And the thought of her that lingered

Went to another man

Went to another man

Ooooo

Ooooo

Ooooo

Ooooo

And all the gold he held inside his hands

Couldn't go down in the ground with him

See paper bills won't keep you warm at night

And fancy things weren't meant to save a life

Save a life

And it slipped right through his fingers

And it fell out of his hands

And all his precious treasures

Went to another man

Went to another man

Ooooo

Ooooo

Ooooo

Ooooo

Ooooo
