[Chorus]
N.C.
There's a man who walks beside me he is who I used to be,
N.C.
and I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
N.C.
And I wonder who she's pining for on nights I'm not around
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
Could it be the man who did the things I'm living down
[Verse 1]
Am C/B C
I was rougher than the timber shipping out of Fond du Lac
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
When I headed south at seventeen, the sheriff on my back
Am C/B C
I'd never held a lover in my arms or in my gaze,
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
So I found another victim every couple days
Am C/B C
But the night I fell in love with her, I made my weakness known
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
To the fighters and the farmers digging dusty fields alone
Am C/B C
The jealous innuendos of the lonely-hearted men
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
Let me know what kind of country I was sleeping in
Am C/B C
Well you couldn't stay a loner on the plains before the war
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
When my neighbors took to slightin' me, I had to ask what for
Am C/B C
Rumors of my wickedness had reached our little town
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
Soon she'd heard about the boys I used to hang around
Am C/B C
We'd robbed a great-lakes freighter, killed a couple men aboard
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
When I told her, her eyes flickered like the sharp steel of a sword
Am C/B C
All the things that she'd suspected, I'd expected her to fear
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
Was the truth that drew her to me when I landed here
[Chorus]
Am C/B C
There's a man who walks beside me he is who I used to be,
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
Am C/B C
And I wonder who she's pining for on nights I'm not around
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
Could it be the man who did the things I'm living down

Am C/B C
Dm Am7 Fmaj7 (x2)
[Verse 2]
Am C/B C
Well I carved her cross from live oak and her box from short-leaf pine,
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
and buried her so deep, she'd touch the water table line
Am C/B C
And picked up what I needed and I headed south again
Dm Am7 Fmaj7
To myself, I wondered, "Would I ever find another friend"
[Outro]
Am C/B C
