Rodney J. Crowell (born August 7, 1950) is a American country music singer/songwriter who is considered to be part of both the alternative country and the mainstream country music camps. For three years he was part of Emmylou Harris' "Hot Band"; later he gained mainstream popularity as a solo performer with a series of critcally-claimed albums released during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

E There's a man in me, he's cold and he's hard He's got an eye for deception, he's always on guard DA He's swimming in concrete, drowning in fear E And he keeps it all locked in his heart
E This man is a tyrant, a fault finding hack You can't tell him nothing, there's no turning back DA He leaves blood on the highway and scattered debris E He crawls from the wreckage but he still doesn't see DAE He's alive, the man is jive
There's a man in the mirror, I don't like his looks His teeth they are crooked, his hands are like hooks He speaks four letter language because his mind is so small His voice is like venom, I don't like him at all God, I gotta get away from the man in me
AG She says what are you afraid of there's no need to judge BE You know I can help you but you won't even budge AGE Pretty flowers surround you but all you can smell is a rat
She says Why do you insist on your head in the sand Building walls all around you, you don't understand These ways are outmoded but all you can change is your hat DAE The man in me don't wanna know nothing about that
There's a man in the closet, he wants to come out He wants to be noticed but he's so filled with doubt He wants to be well known and famous but he's so filled with pride The keys to his fortune stay locked up inside Can it be the man in me?
She says Now what are you afraid of, There's nothing to fear You want me to help but you won't let me near In your heart you can hear me but all you believe are your eyes
Tell me why you're convinced that a fist in your face Is all you deserve from love you've misplaced The truth is salvation but all you believe in are lies The man in me wants to believe, but he won't even try
There's man in me and he's so full of hate He's so misdirected, he thinks it's too late Pours salt on the wounds only time wants to heal He's dying inside and he don't wanna feel Anything, the man is strange
