Lyrics
We?re Only Men
She sat down on my lap, said, ?Life?s a journey, and you got my map
I went to low, to overload. I said, look more to me like a bumpy road
My intuitions , were right in line. Just like a surgeon she removed my spine.
I?m a man, but man I?m weak. I never had another chance to speak.
Chorus:
She did the talking and I got caught. Never said, Now, when I get a thought.
Heaven help us we?re only men. We lost control, but we don?t know when.
Got married on the day she picked. Kinda scary causes it went so quick.
I gave a ring and my last name. She took the cake and then I got the blame.
Went to work making love and kids. First couple of years and that was all we did.
I found out quick why she?s the boss. Cause, I?m the bar-b-que but she is the sauce.
Chorus:
She did the talking and I got caught. Never said, Now, when I get a thought.
Heaven help us we?re only men. We lost control, but we don?t know when.
Lead
On the day when they lay me down, put my body in that cold, cold ground.
I thank the Lord for the rest I get., But I?m not ready for no dirt nap yet.
So, tell St. Peter not to say a word.. Cause you can bet, that I?ve already heard.
To the grave from the day of birth, we?ve all been listening to Hell on Earth.
Chorus:
She did the talking and I got caught. Never said, Now, when I get a thought.
Heaven help us we?re only men. We lost control, but we don?t know when.
