Song | Self Made Man |
Artist | Howlin' Rain |
Album | Live Rain |
You’re a hungry man | |
Like the pacing curs down on the street | |
It’s more than you can stand | |
Every small defeat | |
When you earn a silver dime | |
They’ll call you a lucky man | |
But you made every kill | |
With your two bloody hands | |
Don’t look back now | |
You’re nearly home | |
A self-made man | |
Of blood and bone | |
You’re a haunted man | |
Like the swaying gallows blown in the breeze | |
The things your heart demands | |
You will never please | |
When you break a couple of bones | |
They call you a ruthless man | |
But you dug the holes alone | |
With two bloody hands | |
Don’t look back now | |
You’re nearly home | |
A self-made man | |
Of blood and bone… | |
Don’t look back now | |
You’re nearly gone | |
Out in the black | |
You’re on your own… | |
Who will love your self-made man? | |
Who could love yourself? | |
You’re a violent dog | |
Like the death squad boys down in Brazil | |
A hard-boiled blackened heart | |
Got to have it’s thrill | |
The trust of your fellow man | |
Is an easy thing to steal | |
When you force them to play their hand | |
By their own free will | |
Don’t look back now | |
You’re nearly home | |
A self-made man | |
Of blood and bone… | |
Don’t look back now | |
You’re nearly gone | |
Out in the black | |
You’re on your own… | |
Who will love your self-made man? | |
Who could love yourself? |
You' re a hungry man | |
Like the pacing curs down on the street | |
It' s more than you can stand | |
Every small defeat | |
When you earn a silver dime | |
They' ll call you a lucky man | |
But you made every kill | |
With your two bloody hands | |
Don' t look back now | |
You' re nearly home | |
A selfmade man | |
Of blood and bone | |
You' re a haunted man | |
Like the swaying gallows blown in the breeze | |
The things your heart demands | |
You will never please | |
When you break a couple of bones | |
They call you a ruthless man | |
But you dug the holes alone | |
With two bloody hands | |
Don' t look back now | |
You' re nearly home | |
A selfmade man | |
Of blood and bone | |
Don' t look back now | |
You' re nearly gone | |
Out in the black | |
You' re on your own | |
Who will love your selfmade man? | |
Who could love yourself? | |
You' re a violent dog | |
Like the death squad boys down in Brazil | |
A hardboiled blackened heart | |
Got to have it' s thrill | |
The trust of your fellow man | |
Is an easy thing to steal | |
When you force them to play their hand | |
By their own free will | |
Don' t look back now | |
You' re nearly home | |
A selfmade man | |
Of blood and bone | |
Don' t look back now | |
You' re nearly gone | |
Out in the black | |
You' re on your own | |
Who will love your selfmade man? | |
Who could love yourself? |
