Man That I Am

July 17, 2016

Hello everyone, it's been a little while since I have posted but I had posted this lyric a while back and now I have just finished recording it and I wanted to share the finished product with you. It's called "Man That I Am" and I am performing it myself. You can hear the completed song in the Open Mic in the Pro Demo or Modern Country categories. Thank you in advance to all those who take the time to read and listen to the work of others.

Man That I Am

By Larry Winemiller

Verse 1

I wear my feelings on paper

my heart on my sleeve

And I always stand firm

for what I believe

I’m a man of few words

what I say, I say well

I know more than I should

what I know I don’t tell

Lord knows I’m not perfect

but I try to do my best

If you take the time to know me

you’ll find I’m nothin’ like the rest

Chorus

You see,

I’m just tryin’ to be

the man that I am

As strong as a lion

and gentle as a lamb

You know, sometimes

I just don’t give a damn

But I’m just tryin’ to be

the man that I am

Verse 2

Ya, there’s times I’ve been mistaken

even times I’ve been bad

There’s times I’ve been confused

by the kind of times I’ve had

There’s times when my emotions

seem to blur reality

And times a thing called love

has made a fool of me

But when times get down and dirty

I hold tight to my dignity

When it comes to livin’ life

I follow this philosophy

Chorus

You see,

I’m just tryin’ to be

the man that I am

As strong as a lion

and gentle as a lamb

You know, sometimes

I just don’t give a damn

But I’m just tryin’ to be

the man that I am

Bridge

Just tryin’ to make a buck

with my unique ability

I don’t depend on luck

I rely on my versatility

Repeat Chorus
