My Man

Tell me the truth, how do you feel?

Like your rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?

Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone

We're all tryna get along

With everybody else tryna go their way

You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?

Just go along till they turn out the lights

There's nothing we can do to fight it

No man's got it made, till he's far beyond the pain

And we who must remain go on living just the same

I once knew a man, very talented guy

He'd sing for the people, and the people would cry

New this song came from deep down inside

You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes

So he traveled alone, touched her heart, then be gone

Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind called him home

My man's got it made, he's gone far beyond the pain

And we who must remain go on living just the same

Now, my man's got it made, he's gone far beyond the pain

And we who must remain go on living just the same

We who must remain go on laughing just the same
