BE THAT MAN
Riding into town, riding like we ain’t afraid of nothin
Me and Jim we got a pocket full of money cause we play in the band
And all the ladies on the street have a laugh
They know we’re only 22 yeah
But hell if me and Jim here could give a damn
Well we walked into this joint had the lights all shining on Main Street
Showed ‘em some identification cause he finally can
And who should we meet after just one drink out on the patio
But the owner of the bar with a Cuban cigar and a Black & Tan
(Chorus)
I wanna be that man, I wanna be that man
Arm around a woman, glass in his hand
I wanna be that man, lord I wanna be that man x2
He said, How ya doin, fellas? How’s that rye whiskey treating you now?
I said, Sir, I couldn’t think of one way to have a better time
He said, Woah there boy, don’t you go and say nothin’ so drastic
Just have a seat and let me treat you like a couple good friends of mine
Chorus
He started pouring those drinks, you know like we ain’t never tasted
Said he was buddies with one Chuck Bukowski back in ‘89
They had a mutual affection for fine women, drinking, and horses
They won a whole lotta money on a nag comin’ down the line
Chorus
