What Kind of Man Am I Kris Kristofferson (Ft. Dave Alvin, Phil Alvin, Sheryl Crow & Taj Mahal)

My words don't know the truth
They flutter as I speak
The sickness I feel under my belt
Is the disdain I have for me

And I ask you to stand tall
But it's me who's fallen down
I'd like to be a better man
But I can't find my way home now

So what kind of man am I
Who never looked up to see the sky
And every word I say
Has come back to haunt me every day

So here I stand alone
Crippled on my cane
The coward I've become
The loser in the game

These eyes you see are masked
By a thin veneer of tears
And who would have known that such a small task
Would have compromised all these years

But a liar's guilt is a liar's fate
And man, that's just the facts
For those too weak to tell the truth
Into darkness you will be cast
