I know that man.

Everybody knows him at every bar in town
He thinks that it feels good to be so loved
He’ll sit down on a barstool and throw a twenty down
But he knows that just one twenty ain’t enough

Now he ain’t got nobody waiting back at home
And he’ll hang around until it’s closing time
He says he thinks that he’s much better off alone
‘cause he does what he wants and he don’t walk no line

And he ain’t worried about no woman
Or what she thinks she needs
He never promised her a thing
It ain’t his fault if she feels let down
It don’t matter that she loves him
And treats him like a king
He never asked her to
He don’t need her
He’s already got his crown

If he can’t make it home, he’ll just lay down in the car
What’s the difference-he can sleep good anywhere
He don’t know she’s out there wishing on a star
He don’t even know his lights are on
Right now, he just don’t care

And he ain’t worried about no woman
Or what she thinks she needs
He never promised her a thing
It ain’t his fault if she feels let down
It don’t matter that she loves him
And treats him like a king
He never asked her to
He don’t need her
He’s already got his crown

When he gets home the house is empty, quiet, and cold
He thinks it feels just like a great big tomb
She’d give anything to be there with him-even when he’s old
But he just can’t find the time
He just ain’t got the room

‘cause he ain’t worried about no woman
Or what she thinks she needs
He never promised her a thing
It ain’t his fault if she feels let down
It don’t matter that she loves him
And treats him like a king
He never asked her to
He don’t need her
He’s already got his crown

Yeah, everything is going fine
He couldn’t be more satisfied
With his crown
