Drive-By Truckers - The Weakest Man lyrics
[Drive-By Truckers - The Weakest Man lyrics]
It's a shame for you to do
Me the way you did, babe
Making me put you down before I was through
You tempted me and tried me
And I kept you right beside me
You ruined me for everyone but you
It's easy to love a thing
So warm and soothing
That gets you through the night so tenderly
But after all these nights with you
All I remember is forgetting just how cold
Your heart could be
Leaving you won't be any harder
Than walking out the door and leaving town
But, I'll be leaving knowing surviving
You don't make me stronger
Than the weakest man who's
Ever turned you down
The body in that pretty dress you wore, dear
Fit my shaking hand just like a glove
But trembling's for the fearful
Old and crying
Getting old and sad and scared
Ain't worth your love
So will you let me go just like I came, babe?
Willful, clear of mind, and free to see
Clear enough to see the others like you
And mindful my will breaks so easily
Leaving you won't be any harder
Than walking out the door and leaving town
But, I'll be leaving knowing surviving
You don't make me stronger
Than the weakest man who's
Ever turned you down
Leaving you won't be any harder
Than walking out the door and leaving town
But, I'll be leaving knowing surviving
You don't make me stronger
Than the weakest man who's
Ever turned you down
Me the way you did, babe
Making me put you down before I was through
You tempted me and tried me
And I kept you right beside me
You ruined me for everyone but you
It's easy to love a thing
So warm and soothing
That gets you through the night so tenderly
But after all these nights with you
All I remember is forgetting just how cold
Your heart could be
Leaving you won't be any harder
Than walking out the door and leaving town
But, I'll be leaving knowing surviving
You don't make me stronger
Than the weakest man who's
Ever turned you down
The body in that pretty dress you wore, dear
Fit my shaking hand just like a glove
But trembling's for the fearful
Old and crying
Getting old and sad and scared
Ain't worth your love
So will you let me go just like I came, babe?
Willful, clear of mind, and free to see
Clear enough to see the others like you
And mindful my will breaks so easily
Leaving you won't be any harder
Than walking out the door and leaving town
But, I'll be leaving knowing surviving
You don't make me stronger
Than the weakest man who's
Ever turned you down
Leaving you won't be any harder
Than walking out the door and leaving town
But, I'll be leaving knowing surviving
You don't make me stronger
Than the weakest man who's
Ever turned you down
