Different Man

(album: Time Marches On - 1996)

Who knows what I'm doing here tonight on this bar stool
As if I didn't know where I should be
Through the darkness of the dim neon
And lonely shade of blue
The light is a mighty hard thing to see
But sitting here it just occurred to me

I was the man she counted on
To do her right, Lord she was wrong
I was the man who wasn't there
Who made it seem he didn't care
Now she needs someone to hold her
To make her feel alive
And she'll be with a different man tonight

I can't believe I turned my back to the love
There in my heart
And turned away from those tears in her eyes
Now I know where I belong is right there in her arms
Though it took so long for me to see the light
I'm leaving here a different man tonight

I was the man she counted on
To do her right, Lord she was wrong
I was the man who wasn't there
Who made it seem he didn't care
Now she needs someone to hold her
To make her feel alive
And she'll be with a different man tonight

Now she needs someone to hold her
And make her feel alive
And she'll be with a different man tonight
Oh, she'll be with a different man tonight
