A Broken Man
Sun comes up like a yellow bus tracking over oceans of dust
One day's miracle is another day's rut
Day keeps breaking like it always does
I'm not a loner, no sackcloth and ashes
Just a heart on a tether with a vagabond mind
This will be a broken man come shivering out of his wintertime
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
Outcast on the outskirts of the promised land
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
I'm a broken man
I have faltered in my strength
I have wanted to do everything right
I swallow hard while the second hand blinks
Shut the back door to keep out the night
Is it just a game?
Is this a maze to lead me right back where I started from?
Oh, this will be a broken man come shattered from this marathon
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
Outcast on the outskirts of the promised land
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
I'm a broken man
Maybe I fear the crush of guilt; I can't take that kind of weight
Maybe I'm afraid when the thunder breaks
I'm scared of losing the things I love so much
I pretend that I ain't scared
I ain't frightened by no third degree, hey
But this will be a broken man come begging for your charity
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
Outcast on the outskirts of the promised land
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
I'm a broken man
A broken man, I'm a broken man
Outcast on the outskirts of the promised land
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
I'm a broken man
One day's miracle is another day's rut
Day keeps breaking like it always does
I'm not a loner, no sackcloth and ashes
Just a heart on a tether with a vagabond mind
This will be a broken man come shivering out of his wintertime
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
Outcast on the outskirts of the promised land
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
I'm a broken man
I have faltered in my strength
I have wanted to do everything right
I swallow hard while the second hand blinks
Shut the back door to keep out the night
Is it just a game?
Is this a maze to lead me right back where I started from?
Oh, this will be a broken man come shattered from this marathon
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
Outcast on the outskirts of the promised land
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
I'm a broken man
Maybe I fear the crush of guilt; I can't take that kind of weight
Maybe I'm afraid when the thunder breaks
I'm scared of losing the things I love so much
I pretend that I ain't scared
I ain't frightened by no third degree, hey
But this will be a broken man come begging for your charity
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
Outcast on the outskirts of the promised land
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
I'm a broken man
A broken man, I'm a broken man
Outcast on the outskirts of the promised land
I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man
I'm a broken man
