lyrics

I'd love to make it but I'm leaving on Saturday
I'm with travelin' show
and Lord I love my freedom more than I love my woman
more than I love the comfort of home

Chorus

I'm a lonely man, yea , it's just the way I am
it's not the way I'm raised, naw honey, no I can't play that hand
I'm a lonely man, oh yea , it's just the way I am, oh sugar
it's not the way I'm raised, no I can't play that hand

Verse

You can call me a dreamer
I'll burn that bridge right down to the ground
I gotta keep my head above the water
and make sure it aint stuck in the clouds

Chorus

I'm a lonely man, yea , it's just the way I am
it's not the way I'm raised, naw honey, no I can't play that hand
I'm a lonely man, oh yea , it's just the way I am, oh sugar
it's not the way I'm raised, no I can't play that hand

Verse
I've gotta keep this matchbox burnin' brighter
than the stars way above you and I
oh I know that I got you excited
but I'm gone like a thief in the night
oh baby I'm gone like the rollin' thunder
over the rivers on the open plains
I know right now if I take your number
I aint never seein' you again
oh baby I'm gone like the rollin' thunder
over the rivers on the open plains
I know right now if I take your number
I aint never seein' you again

Chorus

I'm a lonely man, yea , it's just the way I am
it's not the way I'm raised, naw honey, no I can't play that hand
I'm a lonely man, oh yea , it's just the way I am, oh sugar
it's not the way I'm raised, no I can't play that hand

Refrain

You can call me a dreamer
I'll burn that bridge right down to the ground
I gotta keep my head above the water
and make sure it aint stuck in the clouds

Chorus

I'm a lonely man, yea , it's just the way I am
it's not the way I'm raised, naw honey, no I can't play that hand
I'm a lonely man, oh yea , it's just the way I am, oh sugar
it's not the way I'm raised, no I can't play that hand
