Broken Man

歌詞

I got a phone call from a friend the other day Says he got into some trouble says he's got to go away Says he's been wasting time making up his mind Says it's so hard to take a stand when you're a broken man Dig yourself into a deeper hole Deeper than the the deepest hole you know You put your money on the line just to blow it every time You're always dealt a dirty hand when you're a broken man Wipe the sleep out of your eyes No trick, half joke, or lie No truth true and tried Hours creeping thick and sure How can you be so pure So shiny and new So never lend a broken man a broken hand Or talk the kind of lip nobody understands The truth is true and tried but so are all your lies A lie can be the truth--the truth just in disguise I got a phone call from a friend the other day Says he got into some trouble says he's got to go away He says he needed money but for him I got no money Cause it's so hard to give a damn when you're a broken man Wipe the sleep out of your eyes No trick, half joke, or lie No truth true and tried Hours creeping thick and sure How can you be so pure So shiny and new
