I Don’t Know That Guy

Me, I'm happy-go-lucky-
Always ready to grin
I ain't afraid of loving you-
Ain't fascinated with sin
So who's this fellow in my shoes-
Making you cry?
I don't know that guy

Who took my suitcase?
Who stole my guitar?
And where's my sense of humor?
What am I doin' in this bar?
This man who's been drinking
And giving you the eye-
I don't know that guy
Hey!

I've heard him complainin'
'bout piddly little stuff
I've watched him do nothin'
And say he can't get enough
He'll blame his Momma and Daddy
For the world passin' by
And I don't know that guy

There's rain across Kansas
There's a roadside hotel
There's a man and a woman
And things are going well
So why is he leavin'
Without so much as goodbye?
I don't know that guy

Why can't he come out with it?
Why can't he laugh it off?
Why can't he be a fool like me?
Why can't he be soft?
Why does he run from his lover?
Why doesn't he cry?
I don't know that guy

'cause -

[repeat first verse]
