See The Man

(album: Cast No Stones - 2008)

See the man run from his problems
See the man face down in a bottle
See the man realize old ghosts ride along
You can't drive when you're too damn stoned
See the man in a three piece suit
See the man in a Rolls-Royce car
You know that man's realized that he can't buy friends
But he buys all the drinks all night long

See the man going down in flames
It ain't about money, Lord, it ain't about fame
You see that man's going down on his knees
As he begs for one more please
Shoot 'em down
I didn't pull the trigger but I gave 'em the gun
One more round
In the chamber and it's done
If he could see
Oh, through these eyes I've seen
Then he'll put that bottle down
Stop drinking to the ground

See the man turning off the barlights
See the man thank God to see his home lights
You know that man's dead sober when he walks through the door
When you drink all alone you can drink 'till four
See the man pickin out a song
You see that man put the guitar down
You know that man's realized another day's passed by
But you can't find the bed when you're spinning around

See the man going down in flames
It ain't about money, Lord, it ain't about fame
You see that man's going down on his knees
As he begs for no more please
Shoot 'em down
It's time I pull the trigger 'till I empty the gun
No more rounds
In the chamber and it's done
Lord, I see
Oh, through these eyes I've seen
Go on and put that bottle down
And stop
Drinking to the ground

Shoot 'em down
Didn't pull the trigger but I gave him the gun
No more rounds
In the chamber then it's done
Lord, I see
Oh, through these eyes I've seen
Go on and put that bottle down
And stop drinking to the ground
