There’s a hole in the guardrail
on route east 22
maybe jim was drunk when he wadded it up
it could have been me or you
that rip in the aluminum
the red clay on the wheel
made me push the pedal to the floor
and say darling,
“a deal is a deal”
my eyes can’t explain
what my heart understands
i’ve been a fool for pride and whiskey
i’ll be a monkey ‘til i’m free
honey it’s true, sugar me and you
we’re not that far out of the trees
jesus built this hot-rod
he built this mansion too
‘turned water to wine, gave sight to the blind
he made a masterpiece in you
my eyes can’t explain
what my heart understands
when i’m walking with the man
with the man
you’ve seen me at my worst now darling
loved me hard as you could
you were on your knees picking up the pieces
when nobody else would
all the riches in the world
are just rocks, pebbles and sand
when i’m walking with the man
