Honest Man

Well, I’m a man and I’m six feet tall
Yeah, I heard they that high
I am amazed everyday
By the things some people say
Well, hey, I want what I want
But I take what I get
It’s not a lot now
But I ain’t dead yet
I got time on my side
So that I will understand
It’s not my world
It doesn’t work the way it should
Goodbye, old world
If you were here, then maybe we could
Well, the man on the TV says
If you wanna live your dreams you better drown in debt
Well, I’m sorry but I just don’t buy it
'Cause I haven’t got a lot to lose
Well, it takes all kinds but we take what we can
It’s hard enough for us to be honest men
But we’re tryin' everyday
Even though we lose anyway
It’s not my world
It doesn’t work the way it should
Goodbye, old world
If you were here, then maybe we could
It doesn’t matter that I’ve won some
I burned all the bridges I have walked on
And it ain’t so bad I just need
But there’s just one thing I would rather be
I wish I was, I wish I was an honest man
Yeah, I wish I was, I wish I was an honest man
Yeah, I wish I was, I wish I was an honest man
No, I’ve never been, I’ve never been a holy man
Yeah, but if I was, I would be an honest man
An honest man
An honest man
An honest man
An honest man
