Man that I know
Theres a man
That I know
has the hardest time
Doing what he's told
Or listening to
what he knows
Can't seem to
Find A receipt
for the soul
that he sold
Theres a man
That i know
Cant catch a break
Hoping for a rainbow
Never catching sight
of that pile of gold
it's gonna take
To buy back his soul
Why wont he change,
Spread his wings and fly
fly up and away
Away from
all of his pain
Nothing
is all hes got to show
Running
from his very own shadow
Lord I wonder
Why dont
the devil
just let go
Of the man
that I know
If he
The man that I know
Wasn't empty
inside, simply hollow
If he Wasn't me
Wasting all my time
Fightin thru
all of these white lines,
he'd be able
to give this life
another try
But its the only thing
Keeping him alive
Theres a man
That I know
To him the cold Just too tough l
Of a pill to swallow
His truth is just
too damn hard
To simply disregard
No matter how
he tries -
He'd rather
live out all the lies
For the grave is
Bound to be shallow
For the man
That I know
Why wont he change,
Spread his wings and fly
fly up and away
Away from
all of his pain
Nothing
is all hes got to show
running
away from his very own shadow
Why don't
The devil
just let go
Of the man
that I know
Why Can't he
find The receipt
For the soul
that he sold
So the devil
would just let go
Why wont he change,
Spread his wings and fly
fly up and away
Away from
all of his pain
Nothing
is all hes got to show
running
from his
Very own shadow
But We both know
One day soon
That ol devils
Gonna let go
of The soul
Of the man
The man
That I know
That I know
has the hardest time
Doing what he's told
Or listening to
what he knows
Can't seem to
Find A receipt
for the soul
that he sold
Theres a man
That i know
Cant catch a break
Hoping for a rainbow
Never catching sight
of that pile of gold
it's gonna take
To buy back his soul
Why wont he change,
Spread his wings and fly
fly up and away
Away from
all of his pain
Nothing
is all hes got to show
Running
from his very own shadow
Lord I wonder
