Little Man

Well I got me a distant story
 So I wrote me a distant tune
 Of how they used to bask in the glory
 And how I wished that I could too
 Little man, be here tomorrow
 They said they could change my ways
 But instead they tried to stone me
 And I been sleeping right here for a hundred days
 Lying, giving in
 Trying to get my day on through
 Low town, going down
 Ain't got nobody to save me
 Now you know it's hard to stop
 Getting down from burning up
 Now you know it's hard to stop
 Quit trying, baby
 Just get somebody to save you
 So I ran from here to El Paso
 And arrived about half past June
 Just in time for them to burn me
 I think I woke up a little too soon
 Little man, if you're a preacher
 Oh then why you been looking so sad?
 He struck a match and then he burned me
 Another honest man gone bad
 Lying, giving in
 Trying to get my day on through
 Low town, going down
 Ain't got nobody to save me
 Now you know it's hard to stop
 Getting down from burning up
 Now you know it's hard to stop
 Quit trying, baby
 Just get somebody to
 Now you know it's hard to stop
 Getting down from burning up
 Now you know it's hard to stop
 Quit trying, baby
 Just get somebody to
