| I met a man who told me that the way
|
| You do things ain’t quite right
|
| I met a man who told me I was wrong
|
| He told me that the way I’ve lived
|
| Is way too fast
|
| Slow down, life ain’t that long
|
| I told him that I didn’t care
|
| Had more than my share of the good things
|
| How can that be bad
|
| He turned on me and said it’s just a dream
|
| I said it is, I’m sure sleeping on
|
| Heaven is the only place
|
| He told me in a solemn voice
|
| Fingering his crucifix
|
| I’ll take my chances by myself
|
| With just a little wine and women
|
| This man’s got to ease his pain
|
| I’ll be all right, I’ll be all right, just you watch me
|
| I’ll be all right, I’ll be all right
|
| He wrung his hands in desperation
|
| I said «Sir» and bowed down
|
| Communication was a little low
|
| He said, «I'll give you one last chance»
|
| Well, as I’m a little hard of hearing
|
| I didn’t dig what he was saying
|
| I’ll be all right, I’ll be all right, just you watch me
|
| I’ll be all right, I’ll be all right
|
| Can you get that together? |
