I swung down from an early freight trying to get my head on straight this morning
|
I didn't sleep too well last night and every bone and muscle aches today
|
I can't believe this hungry man with wrinkled clothes and dirty hands is me
|
You'd never known to look at me that I used to be a family man
|
Somewhere the woman who once loved me is gettin' up to dress my kids for school
|
Maybe they won't grow up to hate me or ever know their daddy was a fool
|

|
It seems I've lost all tracks of time
|
And the only thoughts to cross my mind're homeward
|
The thing I dread more than today is to face another cold and grey tomorrow
|
I've lost my pride and sanity and no one stops or takes the time to know me
|
I can't say I blame 'em though cause I don't look much like a family man
|
Somewhere the little girl who needs me is beginning to forget he daddy's face
|
Somewhere the woman who once loved me
|
Has turned to kiss the man who's taking my place
|
