Lyrics
THE MAN THAT I AM NOW DARRELL COWART © April, '11
I RAN INTO AN OLD BUDDY OF MINE, A THE QUIKSTOP , YESTERDAY
I SAID “HEY MAN HOW ‘S IT GOING”? , I HAVEN’T SEEN YOU SINCE ‘98
WELL HE SMILED AT ME, BUT THEN HE DROPPED HIS HEAD, WITH A LOOK THAT I’VE SEEN BEFORE
IT WAS ONE I’M SURE THAT I RECOGNIZED, IN MY MIRROR IN ‘94
HE SAID MAN TIMES ARE TOUGH AND THE WATER IS HIGH,
BUT I STILL GOT HOPE, THAT THINGS WILL GET RIGHT,
AND IF THERE’S ONE MORE BED DOWN AT THE 4TH ST CHURCH, WELL THAT’S WHERE I’LL SLEEP TONIGHT
I’VE GOT TWENTY EIGHT DOLLARS AND ONE LAST DREAM,
I’VE GOT TO CHANGE, BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW
AND I’D RATHER BE SOMEONE THAT I LIKE, NOT THE MAN THAT I AM NOW
HE SAID I LOST MY JOB TO WAY THINGS ARE, THE WAY THINGS ARE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
IF THERE EVER WAS A TIME TO LOVE YOUR GOD, I’M HOPING GOD WILL WASH ME CLEAN
CAUSE I USED TO BE SOMEBODY, I WAS A BIG MAN, ANYONE COULD SEE
AND I USED TO BE A REAL GOOD FRIEND, NOW A GOOD FRIEND ,THAT'S ALL I NEED
HE SAID REMEMBER ALL THE REAL GOOD TIMES WE HAD, YOU AND ME WITH ALL OF THOSE GIRLS
WATCHING FOOTBALL OUT ON MY BRAND NEW PORCH, CHILDREN PLAYIN’,
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORLD.
YOU KNOW I USED TO BE A STRONG MAN , WITH A LOVING WIFE AND A BEAUTFUL HOME
AND I USED TO BE A REAL GOOD DAD, BUT MY FRIEND, EVEN THAT’S ALL GONE
OH YEA I USED TO BE SOMEBODY, I HAD IT ALL, BUT I LOST IT SOMEHOW
BUT I’D RATHER BE SOMEONE THAT I LIKE, NOT THE MAN THAT I AM NOW
NOW WE SAID SO LONG BUT HEY, LETS KEEP IN TOUCH, AS THE SUN FELL OVER HIS FACE
I THOUGHT “ BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I “, AND IN AN INSTANT, I COULD BE IN HIS PLACE
WELL IT’S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE I SAW MY FRIEND, TIMES HAVE CHANGED , AND SO HAS MY LUCK
AND AS THE RAIN KEEPS FALLIN’ ON MY OLD BROWN COAT, I FIND MYSELF RIGHT WHERE HE WAS..
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE TIMES ARE TOUGH AND THE WATER IS HIGH
BUT I STILL GOT HOPE, THAT THINGS WILL GET RIGHT
AND IF THERE’S ONE MORE BED DOWN AT THE 4TH STREET CHURCH , THAT’S WHERE I’LL SLEEP TONIGHT
AND I’VE GOT THAT TWENTY EIGHT DOLLARS AND ONE LAST DREAM, GOD HELP ME CHANGE, JUST
SHOW ME SOMEHOW
‘CAUSE I’D RATHER BE SOMEONE THAT I LIKE, NOT HE MAN THAT I AM NOW
YES I’D RATHER BE SOMEONE THAT I LIKE, NOT THE MAN THAT I AM NOW
NOT THE MAN THAT I AM NOW, NO NOT THE MAN THAT I,THAT I AM NOW
