Oh My Man

How were we so close and yet so lonesome

On every road from Orange County to Green Bay

I tried to find a tune in the radio static

But in the seat beside me you’re a thousand miles away

Beneath the Arizona sun I packed my rucksack To walk along the trails of your mind

My mother said still waters run the deepest

But the riverbed I found was cracked and dry

Oh my, man oh my

Oh my you’re a stranger who struck a deal

Oh my, man Oh my Oh my, man

You got your midnight meal

Now you’re a ghost painted on my shield A lion on an English field

Your heart was somewhere high up in the mountains I must admit that mine's a rocky coast

Though the weather's growing mild in the springtime Our love was left to melt with the snow

Oh my, man oh my

Oh my you’re a stranger who struck a deal Oh my, man oh my oh my, man

You got your midnight meal

Now you’re a ghost painted on my shield

I got a ring in my pocket you got one in yours

We had everything in common like the water and the shore You got a ring in your pocket I got one in mine

But the gold won’t shine like it did the first time

Louder than a wave but you didn’t hear

It must have slipped your mind or did you just not respond Leave me here complaining in a song

A simple wish to fill in space provided

A couple words as you regretfully decline

I hope you find what shines in El Dorado

But did you even see the gold you left behind

Oh my, man oh my

Oh my you’re a stranger who struck a deal Look at your midnight meal

Now you’re a ghost painted on my shield A lion on an English field

Oh, my man oh my

Oh my man somewhere along the way In a Chevrolet

I know we made our mistakes

And you got to get your clean break But it hurt when you faded away
