There's a man who walks beside me |
| [00:06.61] |
It is who I used to be |
| [00:10.38] |
And I wonder if she sees him |
| [00:13.20] |
and confuses him with me |
| [00:14.64] |
And I wonder who she's pinin' for |
| [00:16.40] |
on nights I'm not around |
| [00:18.08] |
Could it be the man who did the things |
| [00:21.28] |
I'm living now |
| [00:23.67] |
|
| [00:26.99] |
I was rougher than a timber |
| [00:29.25] |
shippin' out of Fond du Lac |
| [00:31.14] |
|
| [00:31.71] |
When I headed south at 17 |
| [00:33.84] |
ol' sheriff on my back |
| [00:36.59] |
|
| [00:37.55] |
I never held a lover in my arms |
| [00:40.30] |
or in my gaze |
| [00:42.74] |
So I found another victim every couple days |
| [00:46.75] |
But the night I fell in love with her |
| [00:53.98] |
I made my weakness known |
| [00:55.98] |
|
| [00:56.72] |
Through the fires and |
| [00:57.80] |
the farmers diggin' dusty fields alone |
| [01:01.13] |
|
| [01:02.50] |
The jealous innuendos of the lonely hearted men |
| [01:06.85] |
Let me know what kind of country |
| [01:09.35] |
I was sleeping in |
| [01:13.42] |
|
| [01:18.05] |
Well you couldn't stay a loner |
| [01:20.63] |
|
| [01:21.56] |
on the plains before the war |
| [01:23.20] |
My neighbors took to slightin' me |
| [01:24.97] |
I had to ask what for |
| [01:27.21] |
Rumors of my wickedness had reached |
| [01:29.52] |
our little town |
| [01:31.84] |
Soon she'd heard about the boys |
| [01:34.40] |
I used to hang around |
| [01:37.08] |
|
| [01:41.52] |
We'd robbed a Great Lakes freighter |
| [01:43.84] |
killed a couple men or more |
| [01:46.04] |
And I told her her eyes flickered like |
| [01:48.92] |
the sharp steel of a sword |
| [01:51.41] |
All the things that she'd suspected |
| [01:53.84] |
I'd expected her to fear |
| [01:55.78] |
|
| [01:56.34] |
Was the truth that drew her to me |
| [01:59.58] |
when I landed here |
| [02:01.39] |
|
| [02:05.13] |
There's a man who walks beside me |
| [02:07.51] |
he is who I used to be |
| [02:10.75] |
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses |
| [02:14.19] |
him with me |
| [02:15.95] |
And I wonder who she's pinin' for |
| [02:18.95] |
on nights I'm not around |
| [02:21.03] |
Could it be the man who did the things |
| [02:24.52] |
I'm living down |
| [02:26.40] |
|
| [02:54.45] |
Well I carved a cross from live oak |
| [02:57.44] |
and a box from shortleaf pine |
| [02:59.62] |
|
| [03:00.25] |
Buried her so deep |
| [03:01.81] |
she touched the water table line |
| [03:04.45] |
|
| [03:05.76] |
I picked up what I needed |
| [03:07.57] |
and I headed south again |
| [03:09.56] |
|
| [03:10.44] |
To myself I wondered |
| [03:11.62] |
would I find another friend |
| [03:15.18] |
|
| [03:18.68] |
There's a man who walks beside her |
| [03:21.00] |
it is who I used to be |
| [03:23.81] |
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses |
| [03:27.61] |
him with me |
