Mystery Man Is Me
I was walking home just the other day
And the old man on the side of the road had something to say
He said son watch your step
Or you'll end up like me on the side of the road
Blistered and burnt
Now I said back to man listen to me
I'm on a path of my own can't you see
I'm watching my step with my own two eyes
Well, a man like you, I'm sure you tell no lies
He's out of view now from what I can see
The ghost of him seems to be following me
With every step I take, he takes one
It seems the battles he's fought, he's not won
He's falling behind now almost out of sight
This race we found ourselves in didn't seem right
He lost himself on his own path
Now he was on my trail lost in his past
I round the corner and find myself alone
This road of mine ain't taking me home
Home for me is under the tree, by the pond
I knew wherever I ventured it wouldn't take long, to be home
The glisten of the water I can see up ahead
With a big crabapple tree where I can rest my head
I'm finally home ma now can't you see
Where you considered home for me I did not feel free
On the road here from sun up to sun down
I throw my sorrows and worries out
and let em drown
It's a quarter to 2:00 and the sun's beaming hot
Right over my dead body in the old man's spot
And the old man on the side of the road had something to say
He said son watch your step
Or you'll end up like me on the side of the road
Blistered and burnt
Now I said back to man listen to me
I'm on a path of my own can't you see
I'm watching my step with my own two eyes
Well, a man like you, I'm sure you tell no lies
He's out of view now from what I can see
The ghost of him seems to be following me
With every step I take, he takes one
It seems the battles he's fought, he's not won
He's falling behind now almost out of sight
This race we found ourselves in didn't seem right
He lost himself on his own path
Now he was on my trail lost in his past
I round the corner and find myself alone
This road of mine ain't taking me home
Home for me is under the tree, by the pond
I knew wherever I ventured it wouldn't take long, to be home
The glisten of the water I can see up ahead
With a big crabapple tree where I can rest my head
I'm finally home ma now can't you see
Where you considered home for me I did not feel free
On the road here from sun up to sun down
I throw my sorrows and worries out
and let em drown
It's a quarter to 2:00 and the sun's beaming hot
Right over my dead body in the old man's spot
