A Man Of My Word Lyrics

When you first came to me

You lived on the street

So close to the edge

Against my better judgement

I let you stay

And we made a pledge

You shook my hand

To confirm the plan

And I’m a man of my word

Despite all of this

You haven’t even bothered to give me

A penny’s rent since the day you arrived

When I was a young lad

I learned from my Dad

That honour was all

Like his Father before

Respect is The Law

You break it you fall

Every mistake

Wrong turn I could take

Was scribed in blood on my soul

Hard knocks and pain

Shaped every refrain

Until my life reached its goal

An agreement was made

I won’t be betrayed

I’m not such a fool

Now my patience is spent

You’ve not paid your rent

You’ve broken the rules

Live and let live

I often forgive

But all your bridges are burned

Two weeks you’re out

No questions no doubts

And I’m a man of my word

No more excuses

Lies or abuse this

Ends here I will return

Two weeks you’re out

No questions no doubts

And I’m a man of my word
