I met a man in my late teens
He said I’m gonna conquer the world
Before he finished I could tell from his laugh
He’d been living this way most of his life
Hand on his heart and a tear as he cries
His persona is a public disguise
He drank from his cup and finished it up
Said “Now listen boy, now listen real hard”

My lungs might be broke
And my liver might be dying
But my heart’s full of love
And my head’s always trying
My toes stay cold
And my beard gets longer
Cause my feet are firmly rooted
In this earth that ages older
Money’s not an issue cause my issue grew a tree
But I’ll be a better man just like my father said I’d be
When it’s dark you light a candle 
When you’re sad you try to handle
When you’ve messed up what life gives
You’re only out and maybe in love

Only out and maybe in love

I met a lady in my late teens
She came in hard and ripped out my heart
Clenched it firmly between two fists
In love I guess I swung and I missed
But nothings as bad when nearly I had a misfortune
I’ve never been a sucker for life
If love is a gift then a gift is a bitch and a bitch isn’t for me
Cause I’ve had my fair share of two of those

My lungs might be broke
And my liver might be dying
But my heart’s full of love
And my head’s always trying
My toes stay cold
And my beard gets longer
Cause my feet are firmly rooted
In this earth that ages older
Money’s not an issue cause my issue grew a tree
But I’ll be a better man just like my father said I’d be
When it’s dark you light a candle 
When you’re sad you try to handle
When you’ve messed up what life gives
You’re only out and maybe in love

Only out and maybe in love

My lungs might be broke
And my liver might be dying
But my heart’s full of love
And my head’s always trying
My toes stay cold
And my beard gets longer
Cause my feet are firmly rooted
In this earth that ages older
Money’s not an issue cause my issue grew a tree
But I’ll be a better man just like my father said I’d be
When it’s dark you light a candle 
When you’re sad you try to handle
When you’ve messed up what life gives
You’re only out and maybe in love
You’re only out and maybe in love
