Broken Man (2023 Remix) Lyrics

Lonely eyes follow me

As I come and go

Take a dollar, brother

Then go

Coat and scarf

Tattered and torn

I see your face

Weathered and worn

Thought I knew but I didn't understand

The hopeless look in the desperate eyes of

A beaten, broken man

Did your mother hold you

Soothe you when you cried

Did she sing a song

Sweet lullaby

Did your father guide you

help you to be strong

Did he teach you

Right from wrong

Thought I knew but I didn't understand

The hopeless look in the desperate eyes of

A beaten, broken man

When you met your woman

You said you loved her so

You made a promise

Then you made her go

Forever is a long time

Guess too long for you

The kids that called you daddy

They've left you too

Thought I knew but I didn't understand

The hopeless look in the desperate eyes of

A beaten, broken man

Hopeless look in the desperate eyes of

A beaten, broken man
