Just Another Man

(album: Gentle On My Mind - 1967)

I'd like to stay with you for a while but I have promisses to keep
I could be happy here with you but I'm a so wild oat to reap
My strenght tells me my weakness shows you make me think of coats and ties
Of babies home security and jobs that last from nine to five
I could conjure up the constant state of happiness
But I know that I am just another man
And in knowing that I know that I'll get more or less what I can get
So I'll do what I can

I have many steps to take reckless steps I cannot share
A mountain waits for me to climb and I must climb because it's there
I could conjure up...

But if you should not let me go and if you want me as I am
And for a while I'll be a God instead of just another man mhm
