Lyrics

You’re The Man
(Bennett Simpson)

So you mean to tell me that, the girl you met in Amsterdam,
Grabbed your belt and pulled you to a room.
Took a rope around your hands, took you down like seven grand,
And sent you with a kiss out to the moon.

I ain’t saying that you’re lying,
I just said I don’t believe it,
I’m saying it ain’t true.

So buddy, when you’re gray and falling over,
Won’t you wish you told it right while you still can?
And I don’t mind hearing stories, but I ain’t gonna tell you buddy you’re the man.

Well boys go stirring up downtown, unless you go and shut ‘em down,
They’re waiting on someone to save the day.
You laid a hand and laid him still, the whole bar bought you drinks until,
The cops had dragged his bloody ash away.

I ain’t saying that you’re lying,
I just said I don’t believe it,
I’m saying it ain’t true.

So buddy, when you’re gray and falling over,
Won’t you wish you told it right while you still can?
And I don’t mind hearing stories, But I ain’t gonna tell you buddy you’re the man.

The devil’ll find me bright one day, and come to rip my soul away,
Late when I’ve got nothing left to lose.
And you won’t let me leave alone, but when I need my story told,
I don’t think I’ll ever look to you.

I ain’t saying that you’re lying,
I just said I don’t believe it,
I’m saying it ain’t true.

So buddy, when you’re gray and falling over,
Won’t you wish you told it right while you still can?
And I don’t mind hearing stories, but I ain’t gonna tell you buddy you’re the man.
I don’t mind hearing stories, but I ain’t gonna tell you buddy you’re the man.
I don’t mind, buddy you’re the man.
