[ Featuring Toots Earl ]
I'm just a man
Or so they say
And Lady Luck don't often come round my way
And if you saw me coming you'd cross to the other side
And I may be smiling, but I'm burning up inside
I'm just a man
And life is hard
And I'm in the gutter looking up at all the stars
But what's the use of dreaming of a better day?
Some men are born to lose
And so I have to say
When I meet my maker
Oh, just for fun
Yeah, I'm going to tell him
Where he went wrong
'Cause I've got nothing
But the blisters on my shoes
When I meet my maker, woah woah woah
When I meet my maker, huh huh
When I meet my maker
I'm going to have to say
If I were a rich man
I'd have been OK
But I had nothing
But the sun up in the sky
When I meet my maker, woah woah woah
When I meet my maker, huh huh
She said, 'You're just a man, but it's OK
And I'm going to show you how to find the right way
Into the brightest day a little rain must fall
And I can help you when trouble comes to call'
You're just a man, ha ha!
No more, no less
Got to keep on fighting when life puts you to the test
And you don't need to cry
Your life is in your hands
So I tell you, brother
So you can understand, yeah, yeah, yeah
When you meet your maker
Yeah, when you're done
Just don't ever tell her
Where she went wrong
'Cause you'll have something
For the blisters on your shoes
When you meet your maker, woah woah woah
When you meet your maker, huh huh
When you meet your maker
Don't forget to say
That you were a rich man
In every single way
And you were thankful
For the sun up in the sky
When you meet your maker, woah woah woah
When you meet your maker, huh huh
