The Man in Me Rodney Crowell

There's a man in me
He's cold and he's hard
He's got an eye for deception
He's always on guard
He's swimming in concrete
And drowning in fear
And he keeps it all locked in his heart

This man is a tyrant, a fault findin' hack
You can't tell him nothing
There's no turnin' back
He leaves blood on the highway and scattered debris
He crawls from the wreckage but he still doesn't see
He's alive
The man is jive

There's a man in the mirror
I don't like his looks
His teeth they are crooked
His hands are like hooks
He speaks 4 letter language
'Cause his mind is so small
His voice is like venom
I don't like him at all
God, I gotta get away from the man in me
