Lyrics
I COULDN'T BE A MAN
(©Paul Evans Pedersen, Jr., Mount Misery Music, BMI )
V1
I couldn't be a man,
Who would never dare to chase a dream,
Watching, as his life drifts safely by.
And, I couldn't be a man,
Who would never know what might have been,
From being too afraid to try.
CHORUS
And I couldn't be a man,
Like the one you wanted me to be.
No, I couldn't be a man,
Like the one you're holding now, instead of me.
V2
I couldn't be a man,
Who would play the cards life dealt to him,
Without ever gambling on the draw.
And I couldn't be a man,
Who would quit if no one helped him when,
The chips began to fall.
CHORUS
And I couldn't be a man,
Like the one you wanted me to be.
No, I couldn't be a man
Like the one you're holding now, instead of me.
BRIDGE
Because the man I've always been,
Lives by the soul he hears inside.
I couldn't change him, just to please you,
Even if I tried,
CHORUS
And I couldn't be a man,
Like the one you wanted me to be.
No, I couldn't be a man,
Like the one you're holding now, instead of me.
TAG
No, I couldn't be a man,
If I couldn't be me.
