I'm Just A Man
Jason Aldean · Jason Aldean [2005]
I'm a blue collar man had a hammer in my hand
for the last few years of my life
Working double overtime
while you sleep alone at night
Baby I know it's been a long hard ride
Sometimes I forget to say I love you
But baby please know that I do, yeah
Chorus
I live this life everyday
I make my share of mistakes
and every lesson I've learned
I've learned the hard way
I do the best that I can
and I hope that you understand
After all, I'm just a man
I found a postcard that you've saved
that's turned yellow with age
of a beautiful place in the sun
We've been saying every year that we're gonna go there
and run away just the two of us
Well I put the picture back on the dresser
Grab my keys, I got back to work, yeah
chorus *2
After all, I'm just a man
That's all I am
Baby I'm just a man
for the last few years of my life
Working double overtime
while you sleep alone at night
Baby I know it's been a long hard ride
Sometimes I forget to say I love you
But baby please know that I do, yeah
Chorus
I live this life everyday
I make my share of mistakes
and every lesson I've learned
I've learned the hard way
I do the best that I can
and I hope that you understand
After all, I'm just a man
I found a postcard that you've saved
that's turned yellow with age
of a beautiful place in the sun
We've been saying every year that we're gonna go there
and run away just the two of us
Well I put the picture back on the dresser
Grab my keys, I got back to work, yeah
chorus *2
After all, I'm just a man
That's all I am
Baby I'm just a man
I'm Just A Man
