I’m Gonna Be Your Man

So scarred and sentimental, Sister, tell me how you feel
Go make another mental list of all you wish was real
Go across the river, maybe I can meet you there
So let your loss deliver you, don’t be afraid to care

Don’t give up so easy
I’ve got to make you understand
I’m gonna be the one that loves you
I’m gonna be your man

So get along go wandering into the desert girl
And here’s a song to send you on your way from the world
As the seasons pay no mind, the cart don’t care how fast you pull
So leave it all behind, and tell me now whose glass is full

Don’t give up so easy
I’ve got to make you understand
I’m gonna be the one that loves you
I’m gonna be your man

Turn your gaze to heaven, baby
Roll your eyes at god
Roll another seven, baby
The angels all applaud
So let it all come crashin’ down
Let’s cast it in the sea
Cause I’m on my way
I’m going down
And I’ll take you
Take you there with me

Don’t give up so easy
I’ve got to make you understand
I’m gonna be the one that loves you
I’m gonna be your man
