Drive-By Truckers - The Weakest Man lyrics

rate me

It's a shame for you to do me the way you did babe

Making me put you down before I was through

You tempted me and tried me and I kept you right beside me

You ruined me for everyone but you

It's easy to love a thing so warm and soothing

That gets you through the night so tenderly

but after all these nights with you all I remember

Is forgetting just how cold your heart could be

Leaving you wont be any harder than walking out the door and leaving town

but I'll be leaving knowing surviving you don't make me stronger

Than the weakest man who ever turned you down

The body in that pretty dress you wore dear

Fit my shaking hand just like a glove

but trembling's for the fearful old and crying

Getting old and sad and scared ain't worth your love

so will you let me go just like I came babe?

Willful clear of mind and free to see

Clear enough to see the others like you

and mindful my will breaks so easily

Leaving you wont be any harder than walking out the door and leaving town

but I'll be leaving knowing surviving you don't make me stronger

Than the weakest man who ever turned you down
