Powerful Man

Davy broke the law again

Heard this time he's goin' to the pen

Guess I didn't eat my lunch

'Cause I was gonna miss him

A whole bunch

Maybe he was out of line

But he was still a pretty close

Friend of mine

Maybe he had hurt me bad

But a brother is a brother

And that is that

Violet's in a mood this week

'Cause she thinks her family

Is goin' crazy

Guess it started with the baby

She went in for a hug

Then it bit her on the cheek

That was pretty funny to me

But I guess I should

Have more sympathy

I had never raised a kid

But I bet I'd do a good job

If I did

Had a dream about a promised land

Walkin' around with a big gun

In my hand

And when I look you in the eye

You're gonna tell me that you love me

And hold me tight

'Cause you know that I have no fear

Ain't gonna walk into the river

And disappear

I'm gonna be a powerful man

Red blood running down the broken sand

I couldn't tell you what it means to me

I couldn't tell you what it means to me
