Darlin'

歌詞

Oh, lately I'm a man on the move I'm a young soul with something to prove At that age now, to find something real Using planes, trains, and automobiles It's a long way 'cross the U.S.A. But this day is mine for the takin' Breakin' the laws, 'cause they're all so obsurd I smoke the best herb, the more I travel Westwards All the folks, they all got different handshakes On my way through landslides and earthquakes Funny how you learn the different rules of a new place Funny how your life can fit inside of a suitcase All I need is just a round of applaus To remind me why I left my life behind me I'm makin' money for the rhymes I write And now the hunnies wanna' hold me tight But darlin', can't you see, can't you see? I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of (oh, no, no, no) Darlin', can't you see, can't you see? I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of She's looking for a knight in shining armor A charmer, to guard from those who'd harm her I ain't the one who's gonna' deal with the hassle Ain't the type of knight who spends his time in the castle Call me selfhish, ha, you may be true But I been lookin' out for something new 'Cause the same bar, in the same part of town Drinkin' over and over again could bring a man down (oh) I've been traveling from state to state Still looking for people who can relate In hot persuit of a girl to ease my tension Pretty little something cravin' more than attention Darlin', can't you see, can't you see? I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of (oh, no, no, no) Darlin', can't you see, can't you see? I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of Nothing's ever gonna' stand in my way The highway is all that provides me With a thought that there is something waiting Strong enough to keep a heart from aching If Love is in the air that I ain't breathing Life is short, and I'm in search of meanin' The race is won, and it is slow and steady [may be wrong] Enough already, Hell I'm far from good and ready We could get together for a one night stand 'Cause girl I can love you better than any man could One thing for sure, you know I gotta' leave town Well, we could mess around, we could mess around Darlin', can't you see, can't you see? I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of (oh, no, no, no) Darlin', can't you see, can't you see? I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of (oh, no, no) [Transcribed by Drew Chapin on Sunday, October 11th, 2009]
