Lyrics - Half A Man by Austin Lounge Lizards

(
Hank
Card/
Conrad
Deisler)
I was one tough nut until the day you made me crack
I was one tough customer until you paid me back
I was one tough cookie 'til
I crumbled in your hand
Since that day
I'm half a man
I drive my old nine-wheeler down
I-two-and-a-half
The other truckers pity me so they try not to laugh
I pull off in
Yreka and check into
Motel
Three
They've always got a little room for me
Chorus:
Half a man;
I'm half a man
Sometimes
I try to do the best
I can
I know that on my own foot someday
I'll have to stand
But right now
I don't know how
Because
I'm only half a man
I play solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of twenty-six
You might think
I'm crazy but that's how
I get my kicks
I listen to
Rush
Limbaugh 'cause he helps to ease my pain
He makes lots of sense if you're a man with half a brain
I buy a tenth of whiskey and a cold three-pack of beer
I drink 'til
I see single when
I gaze into my mirror
I know that through that looking glass is where
I'll have to be
Reunited with the better half of me
Chorus
Someday
I'll find a woman and a half and take her hand
But 'til then
I don't know when
I will be more than half a man
