Poke - Manfred Lyrics

Walkin' round in Tennessee and I'm a feelin' kinda blue
Got grease stains on my hands and pants and a picture here of you
I'd like to go and get away and fall in to your arms
But I have to keep on walking till I feel safe from harm
There's a way to get there quicker but my money's all been spent
I know there's no one left to call unless I call collect
So I walk head down and on and on
Just thinkin' bout the man
Who never gave up hope through all the pages that I read
Manfred says his only goal's to take on all the world
And I can't even find my way to the one and only girl
No, I can't even find my way to the one and only girl
Well fifteen miles later and depression's made a home
Inside this head and heart of mine the garbage and the stones
I've walked this far before I thought, but that was years ago
When the Army told me all I need is a paycheck and a bone
So I'm feeling like a dog alone in this world here of mine
I lost control of both my legs and all my sense of time
It doesn't really matter cause I got no where to be
No God-dang way to get there if I wanted anyway
Well Manfred says his only goal is to take on all the world
And I can't even find my way to the one and only girl
No, I can't even find my way to the one and only girl
If Manfred would possess my soul I know that she'd be mine
I'd die a minute later in my fight against the world
I'd die a minute later walking round here with that girl
