Broken Man
Lonely eyes follow me
As I come and go
Take a dollar, brother
Then go
Coat and scarf
Tattered and torn
I see your face
Weathered and worn
Thought I knew but I didn't understand
The hopeless look in the desperate eyes of
A beaten, broken man
Did your mother hold you
Soothe you when you cried
Did she sing a song
Sweet lullaby
Did your father guide you
Help you to be strong
Did he teach you
Right from wrong
Thought I knew but I didn't understand
The hopeless look in the desperate eyes of
A beaten, broken man
When you met your woman
You said you loved her so
You made a promise
Then you made her go
Forever is a long time
Guess too long for you
The kids that called you daddy
They've left you too
Thought I knew but I didn't understand
Hopeless look in the desperate eyes of
A beaten, broken man
Hopeless look in the desperate eyes of
A beaten, broken man
As I come and go
Take a dollar, brother
Then go
Coat and scarf
Tattered and torn
I see your face
Weathered and worn
Thought I knew but I didn't understand
The hopeless look in the desperate eyes of
A beaten, broken man
Did your mother hold you
Soothe you when you cried
Did she sing a song
Sweet lullaby
Did your father guide you
Help you to be strong
Did he teach you
Right from wrong
Thought I knew but I didn't understand
The hopeless look in the desperate eyes of
A beaten, broken man
When you met your woman
You said you loved her so
You made a promise
Then you made her go
Forever is a long time
Guess too long for you
The kids that called you daddy
They've left you too
Thought I knew but I didn't understand
Hopeless look in the desperate eyes of
A beaten, broken man
Hopeless look in the desperate eyes of
A beaten, broken man
