[Verse 1]
C G Well, the face that's starin' at me in the mirror Em D C Ain't a face that a young man can recall G The lines are gettin' deeper, and my hairs are turnin' grey Em D C It's a wonder I have any left at all C G This winter, it came on me like a wildfire Em D C Burnin' cold and creepin' into these ol' bones G With harvest come and gone, another year is windin' down Em D C It's best that I be gettin' myself gone
[Chorus]
G D C Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin' Em That was home
[Verse 2]
C G Well, I finally kicked the smokin' and the hard stuff Em D C I drank enough for three or four men's lives G More habits than an honest man should carry Em D C Choices, good or bad, they've been mine G So I've changed a lot of things that needed changin' Em D C I started findin' peace with my new demon G I got drunk in '99 and I just sobered up last year Em D C And guess that I'm still learnin' how to feel
[Chorus]
G D C Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin' Em Somethin' real
[Bridge]
G D Well, I ain't afraid of dyin', there's people dyin' every day Am C I'm afraid of where I've failed at any turn along the way G D Well, I hope tomorrow finds me with a chance to try again Am C Well, I pray the weather's good, my back's against the wind
[Chorus]
G D G Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin' Em That never ends

[Bridge]
G D Well, I ain't afraid of dyin', there's people dyin' every day Am C I'm afraid of where I've failed at any turn along the way G D Well, I hope tomorrow finds me with a chance to try again Am C Well, I pray the weather's good, my back's against the wind G D That weather's often stormy, and that rain'll sting your skin Am C We'll worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes, my friend G D Take caution through the curves, steadfast through the fray Am C Got some ground to cover, and the skies are clear today
[Outro]
G D C Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin' G D C Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin' G D C G Em Just a lonely man that set out long ago for somethin'
