The Man Who Loved Life

Gary Louris

Won't you take my hand, won't you be my friend

Take my advice, go away

When the days get short and the chips are down

Will you be there, will you stick around, yeah, yeah, yeah

And if thou shalt give thou shalt be deceived

This traveling band was not well received

No open arms or reception lines

Just handlebars wearing five point stars

Am I living in your dream we got the guns, we got the guns

A thousand to one, a thousand to one

He's the man, he's the man, he's the man who loved life

Served by different stories am I living in your dream

Pretty metal green can I ride upon your wings so free

In the canyon walls there's a trusty lot

The stakes were high and the son was hot

You can rest assured as casinos rise

Buzz around my ears like the dragonflies

Am I living in your dream we got the guns, we got the guns

A thousand to one, a thousand to one

He's the man, he's the man, he's the man who loved life

Served by different shores am I living in your dream, yeah

Pretty metal green am I living in your dream so real

Heard a million stories am I living in your dream, yeah

Pretty metal green am I living in your dream, yeah
