Brian Milson - The Man I'm Not lyrics

rate me

My daddy was a heart to go total mind

Smoking, sitting and talking about the old timers,

Any year come near that easy chair

They would gonna hear about the war, and the world,

And the girl in the kitchen cooking

..politics and religion

But if you hung around long enough listen!

He will start about the things he was missing

Wishing that he didn’t do

Like... that gun when he’s buddy was and he didn’t cover

And that three day leave on that two night drunk with that one time lover

How long it took to win back the trust of my mother?

And he’d lean with that ... grin he’d say son

Chorus:

There’s been love, there’s been loss,

Battles fought I thought I won

When I count the cost of what it took

There’s been a lot of look and trading of

And giving up to get to where I got

Then in the end made me the man that I am!

And the man I’m not!

Gets me thinking about the..

Where it’s been, where it’s going, what I’m trying to find,

What I need and what it means to live with things and live inside of me

What will change form standing here to getting there?

Cause I know one day I’ll be sitting here in a not so easy chair

Chorus:

And I’ll have loved, I’ll have lost

I’ll have battles fought I’d thought I won,

But when I count the cost what it took

There’ll be a lot of look, and trading off,

And giving up to get to where I got!

Then in the end will make me the man that I am

And the man I’m not!

Let the roads make you wiser

Let lowers lift you higher,

Until you’ve loved, until you have lost,

To these battles fought you thought you won,

But you can’t count the cost of what it takes

Cause it took you a lot of love and trading of

And giving up to get to where I got

... the man I am and the man I’m not!

My daddy was a heart to go total mind

Smoking, sitting and talking about the old timers,

Any year come near that easy chair

They would gonna hear about the war, and the world!<br />
