Lyrics and translation
Original
Well, the face that's starin' at me in the mirror ain't a face that a young man can recall.
The lines are gettin' deeper and my hair's a-turnin' gray.
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 old bones.
With harvest come and gone, another year is windin' down.
It's best that I be gettin' 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.
Well, I drank enough for three or four men's lives.
More habits than an honest man should carry.
The choices, good or bad, well, they've been mine.
So I changed a lot of things that needed changin', and I started findin' peace with my new deal.
I got drunk in '99 and I just sobered up last year.
I 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 dyin' every day.
I'm afraid of where I failed at any turn along the way.
Well, I hope tomorrow finds me with a chance to try again.
Well, I pray the weather's good and my back's against the wind.
Just a lonely man that set 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 failed at any turn along the way.
Well, I hope tomorrow finds me with a chance to try again.
Well, I pray the weather's good and my back's against the wind.
That weather's often stormy and that rain'll sting your skin.
We'll worry 'bout tomorrow when tomorrow comes, my friend.
Take caution through the curves and steadfast through the fray. We've got some ground to cover and the 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'
