Cody Jinks - Lonely man

Well, the face that's starin' at me in the mirror
Ain't a face that a young man can recall
The lines are gettin' deeper, and my hairs are turnin' grey
It's a wonder I have any left at all

This winter, it came on me like a wildfire
Burnin' cold and creepin' into these ol' bones
With harvest come and gone, another year is windin' down
It's best that I be gettin' myself gone

Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
That was home

Well, I finally kicked the smokin' and the hard stuff
I drank enough for three or four men's lives
More habits than an honest man should carry
Choices, good or bad, they've been mine

So I've changed a lot of things that needed changin'
I started findin' peace with my new demon
I got drunk in '99 and I just sobered up last year
And guess that I'm still learnin' how to feel

Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
Somethin' real

Well, I ain't afraid of dyin', there's people dyin' every day
I'm afraid of where I've failed at any turn along the way
Well, I hope tomorrow finds me with a chance to try again
Well, I pray the weather's good, my back's against the wind

Just a lonely man that sat out long ago for somethin'
That never ends

Well, I ain't afraid of dyin', there's people dyin' every day
I'm afraid of where I've failed at any turn along the way
Well, I hope tomorrow finds me with a chance to try again
I pray the weather's good, my back's against the wind

That weather's often stormy, and that rain'll sting your skin
We'll worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes, my friend
Take caution through the curves, steadfast through the fray
Got some ground to cover, and the skies are clear today

Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
