Well the face that's starin' at me in the mirror
Ain't a face that a young man can recall
The lines are getting deeper
And my hairs are turnin' grey
It's a wonder I have any left at all
This winter it came on me like a wildfire
Burnin' cold and creepin' into these ol' bones
With harvest come and gone
Another year is winding down
It's best that I be getting myself gone
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
That was home

Well I finally kicked the smokin' and the hard stuff
I drank enough for three or four men's lives
More habits than an honest man should carry
Choices good or bad they've been mine
So I've changed a lot of things that needed changing
I started findin' peace with my new demon
I got drunk in '99 and I just sobered up last year
Guess that I'm still learnin' how to feel
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
Somethin' real

Well I ain't afraid of dyin'
There's people dying every day
I'm afraid of where I've failed at any turn along the way
Well I hope tomorrow finds me
With a chance to try again
Well I pray the weathers good
My backs against the wind
Just a lonely man that sat out long ago for somethin'
That never ends

Well I ain't afraid of dyin'
There's people dyin' every day
I'm afraid of where I've failed at any turn along the way
Well I hope tomorrow finds me
With a chance to try again
I pray the weathers good
My backs against the wind
That weathers often stormy
And that rain'll sting your skin
We'll worry about tomorrow
When tomorrow comes my friend
Take caution through the curves
Steadfast through the fray
Got some ground to cover and skies are clear today

Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
