Ain't the Man - Rusty Cage

I gather my sins in a gunny sack, way down the side of the scale

When it meets the ground, a sickening sound, I’ll await that trumpet’s wail

With a fist of mud right before my judge, may he lay his glory on me

A verdict passed with an audible laugh, I know what the score will be

Was a time I tried, and many I lied, and there were plenty of them by and by

But I don’t expect to stretch out my neck, these reasons I’ll tell you why

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

No, I ain’t the man, I ain’t the man that you want me to be

Because the life I lead, one of strife and greed

I can’t break that hold on me

Oh no, I ain’t the man, I ain’t the man that you want me to be

Because I dance with the Devil and I gamble with God

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

There been them nights I prayed for change, that fear I never could

There been them days I stayed the same and I knew I never would

There been them weeks when all was bleak, buddy, drink that bottle brown

There been there years with a lack of tears, that wall came crashing down

Well, I’m the son of a farmer, a low down charmer, I can cheat my way in cards

I done stabbed my fingers, I’m an off-key singer when I play that broke guitar

And well, I can talk, I been around the block, I can lift my Lord on high

But I wouldn’t take a chance if you want romance, and these reasons I’ll tell

you why

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

No, I ain’t the man, I ain’t the man that you want me to be

Because the life I lead, one of strife and greed

I can’t break that hold on me

Oh no, I ain’t the man, I ain’t the man that you want me to be

Because I dance with the Devil and I gamble with God

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

No, I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

No, I ain’t the man, I ain’t the man that you want me to be

Because the life I lead, one of strife and greed

I can’t break that hold on me

Oh no, I ain’t the man, I ain’t the man that you want me to be

Because I dance with the Devil and I gamble with God

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be

I ain’t the man that you want me to be
