Mean Old Man

I'm just a mean old man; ain't no reason you can see
I'm just a mean old man; that's all that's left of me
I'm just a mean old man, nothing left to say
You got no use for me, why don't you just go away

Had a woman, said she loved me, but she took another man
Had another, said she hated me, now, that I understand
A third took my money, a fourth took my soul
Ain't another one I'd want, in this whole, wide world

Had a son, I taught him everything; but he threw it all away
And a girl who kept me up at night, just about every day
They took all I gave, never put nothin' back
Fought me every inch, nearly gave me a heart attack

I'm just a mean old man; ain't no reason you can see
I'm just a mean old man; that's all that's left of me
I'm just a mean old man, nothing left to say
You got no use for me, why don't you just go away

You look at me and wonder, how can I act this way
You broke me down and left me; didn't give me no say
Got no more to give, not like before
No one wants to see me, nobody needs me no more

I'm just a mean old man; ain't no reason you can see
I'm just a mean old man; that's all that's left of me
I'm just a mean old man, nothing left to say
You got no use for me, why don't you just go away
I'm just a mean old man, how can I act this way
You got no use for me. Why don't you just, throw me away
