Paul Pedersen, Jr. songs
I COULDN'T BE A MAN
C. Paul Evans Pedersen, Jr./Mount Misery music, BMI
Sung By DENNIS PARKER
V1
I couldn't be a man,
Who would never dare to chase a dream,
Watching, as his life drifts safely by.
And, I couldn't be a man,
Who would never know what might have been,
From being too afraid to try.
CHORUS
And I couldn't be a man,
Like the one you wanted me to be.
No, I couldn't be a man,
Like the one you're holding now, instead of me.
V2
I couldn't be a man,
Who would play the cards life dealt to him,
Without ever gambling on the draw.
And I couldn't be a man,
Who would quit if no one helped him when,
The chips began to fall.
CHORUS
And I couldn't be a man,
Like the one you wanted me to be.
No, I couldn't be a man
Like the one you're holding now, instead of me.
BRIDGE
Because the man I've always been,
Lives by his code and soul that's deep inside.
I couldn't change it, just to please you,
Even if I tried,
CHORUS
And I couldn't be a man,
Like the one you wanted me to be.
No, I couldn't be a man,
Like the one you're holding now, instead of me.
TAG
No, I couldn't be a man,
If I couldn't be me.
This song has a particularly poignant meaning for me, especially today, which is why I poster it. Sometimes, you just HAVE to go with your gut...and stick by it.
