Man like me

This is the night I've been dreaming of forever 
The mirror takes a look at my face 
I'll never set foot in that rat hole again 
But I'll drive to your place

I spit gravel 
As I back out of the back door 
And the twenties roll aroun in my hand 
It's funny now, when I don't show up on monday 
They'll go nuts, and eat their hats,
Well, what do you think of that? 

She says, you're throwing life away 
She's not blind 
She just don't have mind to see 
To move with a man like me

This is a habit I'm breaking now forever 
I'm weary from trying to shake it 
So when I ask if ytour don't give me your hand
I'll take it 
Right now
From your mother's side of town 

She says, you're throwing life away
She's not blind 
She just don't have a mind to see 
To move with a man like me
