Feel Like a Man

When I saw Marlon Brando on the big screen like a hero
It made me act and feel like one too
For three or four hours I thought no one could touch me
Then I skidded back to feelin' like I do

I'm lost, crazy lonesome
A plane with no place to land
And I do what I have to
To make me feel like a man
Make me feel like a man

When I was 22 years old, my daddy he was 70
I didn't know how a young man's supposed to be
A few years after that he breathed his final breath
But there's some secret he forgot to whisper to me

And I'm lost, crazy lonesome
A plane with no place to land
And I do what I have to
To make me feel like a man
Make me feel like a man

So I look in the mirror
And I wait for the damn thing to speak
Who needs answers
One good question would be a relief

So I go to all the movies and I memorize my lines
And I try to stumble through another day
I'm always looking for the perfect jacket
Or a million dollars or a bullet
Is it only me who goes through life this way

I'm lost, crazy lonesome
A plane with no place to land
And I do anything
To make me feel like a man
Make me feel like a man
Make me feel like a man
