Well the face that's starin' at me in the mirror Ain't a face that a young man can recall The lines are getting deeper And my hairs are turnin' grey It's a wonder I have any left at all This winter it came on me like a wildfire Burnin' cold and creepin' into these ol' bones With harvest come and gone Another year is winding down It's best that I be getting myself gone Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin' That was home Well I finally kicked the smokin' and the hard stuff I drank enough for three or four men's lives More habits than an honest man should carry Choices good or bad they've been mine So I've changed a lot of things that needed changing I started findin' peace with my new demon I got drunk in '99 and I just sobered up last year Guess that I'm still learnin' how to feel Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin' Somethin' real Well I ain't afraid of dyin' There's people dying every day I'm afraid of where I've failed at any turn along the way Well I hope tomorrow finds me With a chance to try again Well I pray the weathers good My backs against the wind Just a lonely man that sat out long ago for somethin' That never ends Well I ain't afraid of dyin' There's people dyin' every day I'm afraid of where I've failed at any turn along the way Well I hope tomorrow finds me With a chance to try again I pray the weathers good My backs against the wind That weathers often stormy And that rain'll sting your skin We'll worry about tomorrow When tomorrow comes my friend Take caution through the curves Steadfast through the fray Got some ground to cover and skies are clear today Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin' Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin' Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
