The Man You Want

I’ve been a cowboy all my life A rock star once or twice A preacher and a poet A son of a bitch and I know it Well, I’ve bet on love and horses You know jackpots beat divorces But the luckiest thing that I’ve ever pulled off Is being the man you want The one you like to lean on The one you miss when I’m gone The one you run from but still like to get caught Through every secret moment shared Every spark that smoked and flared You’ve given yourself to me with all you’ve got Baby, I love being the man you want You’ve seen me at my best My worst and in between the rest Held on when love faltered And watched it come back stronger You’re crazy gift of magic Has held me through the tragic Rivers in my life that I’ve had to cross Baby, I love being the man you want The one you like to lean on The one you miss when I’m gone The one you run from but still like to get caught Through every secret moment shared Every spark that smoked and flared You’ve given yourself to me with all your heart Baby, I love being the man you want Baby, I love being the man you want Songwriter: Radney Foster
