Back when I was fifteen
An old man told me 'bout the time he did back in '83
And I thought he was crazy
Until he pulled his shirt back and showed the scars under his sleeves
And then he told me
About the time in Vietnam when they were hiding in the trees
And I thought it was crazy
The way he told his story the way he did with such clarity
He said "Boy, it's a wonder I ain't dead
I guess there's things I gotta do that's lying up ahead."
I thought he was bulletproof
The way he said those things to me, he told me the whole truth
Wasn't nothing a lie, convinced that I'd
Met a man of steel the way it made me feel
It was like a miracle
He made it through with everything to lose
I thought that he was invincible
Back when I was sixteen
I got my license and my mama told me don't be crazy
But man, if y'all know me
I went and found a girl and we were running high through the Joshua trees
And boy it came easy
We would sit out on my tailgate and enjoy the night time breeze
And when her time came to leave
I would hold her tight and not let her go for what felt like weeks
We might have gone just a little bit too far
But I had the lock and she had the keys to my ever loving heart
I thought I was bulletproof
The way she said those things to me felt like the whole truth
Wasn't nothing a lie, convinced that I
Was a man of steel, the way it made me feel
It was like a miracle
I made it through with everything to lose
I thought that I was invincible
But now I'm just a memory
And I've been in tailspins and struggles and it's a mystery
How it didn't break me
'Cause through the wrecks and heartaches and sad goodbyes I've been lucky
Oh, but I found out the hard way in a ditch
When I saw my life flash before my eyes
I knew I'd just missed
Found out I wasn't bulletproof
The way those things they happened to me became the whole truth
Ain't nothing a lie, now I know that I'm
Not a man of steel the way it made me feel
It must have been a miracle
I made it through with everything to lose
Oh even though I thought that I
Oh even though I thought that I
Was invincible
