Man of Adventure (feat. Alexi Aricur)

Dottie don't get mixed up with a man like me
I've seen things no man should ever live to see.
There's a long list of tragedies,
Of which I am the owner
So I'm better off a rebel and a loner
Better off a rebel and a loner

I gained some knowledge from an early mentor
He did some damage with a knife
And his real bad temper
We met when I hitched a ride
Then from the law we had to hide
Never once did we consider a surrender

I had a run in with a gang
Trespassing in their private club
And they weren't glad I'd rang
They granted me a last request
Changed their minds and thought I was the best
Went along my way but maybe later we'll all hang

There's a lot of things bout me
You know nothing about
As much as I care, I care more
That you never find out
You wouldn't, couldn't, shouldn't
Understand my life of trouble
And how I'm better off a loner and a rebel
I'm better off a loner and a rebel

Most of what I've learned
I've learned from hard knocks
Had a close one riding a bill bigger than an ox
Encounters with ghosts and magic
Much of what I've seen is tragic
And I've learned to keep
My valuables in better locks.

There's times I've been so terrified I've screamed
Watched the sunrise with a woman who loved me
Or so it seemed
She had a man so I decided to bench her
My life's truly been a big adventure
Bigger than I could have ever dreamed

So Dottie don't get mixed up with a man like me
I've seen things no man should ever live to see
There's a long list of tragedies of which I am the owner
And so I'm better off a rebel and a loner. I'm better off a rebel and a loner
