It's So Easy
03:09
|
|||
i'm a man, i'm a man please try to understand
i don't have any answers i barely have a plan
i can hold my head up high on the best of days
we talk and we walk and we drive where we live
down the backroads and cities and everywhere else
where everyone knows your name but no one knows no one
and the barrel of the gun is as blinding as the sun
it's so easy to not say what i mean to say
it's so easy to not say what i mean to say
your word is your word and it can't be undone
and a firm handshake really makes a man
we talk and we walk and we wait and we see
that the things we believe don't make no goddamn sense
it's so easy to not say what i mean to say
it's so easy to not say what i mean to say
your eyes tell a story when you look into mine
and your hand touches mine it begins to stop the time
it's so easy to not say what i mean to say
it's so easy to not say what i mean to say
