Carrie Elkin - Shell of a Man lyrics

rate me

Don’t knock against me

You’ll find out I’m empty

You’ll find out I’m a shell of a man

Got nothing to lose but a broken heart

Feel free to take it with you

Cause it’s tearing me apart

Faith was never with me

I found it all out early

I found it in the palm of my hand

The old lady said I had a few years left

But I just kept runnin’

Didn’t give the girls my best

Oh goodnight, goodnight

I might not wake tomorrow

I might not say good morning

But I’ll always say goodnight

Don’t knock against me

You’ll find out I’m empty

You’ll find out I’m a shell of a man

Got seven angels singin’ from a mountain on high

Hallelujah to the man with the short lifeline

Thought jesus never loved me

With a knife hangin’ bove me

I’m inclined to stand on bended knee

I got one hand in my pocket so the world won’t see

Where the old lady said they gonna bury me

Oh goodnight, goodnight

I might not wake tomorrow

I might not say good morning

But I’ll always say goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight

I might not wake tomorrow

I might not say good morning

But I’ll always say goodnight

Don’t knock against me

You’ll find out I’m empty

You’ll find out I’m a shell of a man.
