Man I Used to Be

Charley Pride · Country Feelin' [RCA Victor] [1974]

(Max D. Barnes)



I'm sure you've seen me along the highway

Sleeping bag and guitar on my back

Searching for the things in life that matter

Thinking that the world was out of act.



I'm going back to the girl that I still dream of

Going back to find the place for me

I found out what life was really made of

I'm going back to the man I used to be.



--- Instrumental ---



I've lived much too long without direction

Really don't know what I thought I'd find

But the mountains I've climbed out in the country

I find that they were only in my mind.



I'm going back to the girl that I still dream of

Going back to plant my family tree

I found out what life was really made of

I'm going back to the man I used to be...
