Country Man

Hey!

Ooh, baby

Drink my liquor, drink it and talk to me

You know what the old man said?

He said

"I work my fingers to the bone, tryna keep a happy home

It's been 20 years for me," that's what he told me

He said, "But now there's somethin' goin' on

Man, inside my home

And it's wearin' and it's wearin' me"

And he said

"I don't know when I'm right (when I'm right)

Or when I'm doin' wrong" (oh, oh-oh)

"But hey, man, we're drinkin' tonight

Can you tell me what's goin' on?"

'Cause I just don't understand (no, no)

I'm just a simple man (just a simple man)

I'm doing the best I can

I'm just a country man, and then, he told me

He said

"She got me askin' for her love every dark of night

I don't know what it is

But it's somethin' ain't right," just ain't right

See, I don't know what I need after all these years

Man, we done raised all our kids

And I ain't never missed a beer

See, I don't know if it's age

But, man, this can't be real

I don't know if she's cheatin' on me

But I got to get the hell out of here

'Cause I just don't understand (no, no)

I'm just a simple man (just a simple man)

I'm doing the best I can (the best I can)

I'm just a country man

He said, "We had a love so real, yeah

But now we're gettin' the wrong deal

I don't know what it is

But I'm tired of these deals"

Is this how it feels after 20 years?

We might as well talk about divorce

'Cause I got to get the hell out of here

I just don't understand (no, no)

I'm just a simple man (just a simple man)

I'm doing the best I can (the best I can)

I just don't understand, that what he told me

He said, "Man, I'm so doggone tired (so tired)

I just wanna live my life" ('cause now I just wanna live my life)

Man, I'm just tired of bein' alone

I can't sleep at night (yeah, I've cried)

I just need a good thrill

Man, I'm tired of takin' this blue pill"
