Darlin' Songtext
von Mike Pinto

Oh, lately I′m a man on the move
I'm a young soul with something to prove
At the age now to find something real
Using planes, trains and automobiles
It′s a long way across the USA

But this day is mine for the taking
Breaking the laws 'cause they're all so absurd
I smoke the best herb the more I travel westward
All the folks, they all got different handshakes
On my way to landslides and earthquakes
Funny how you learn the different rules of a new place

Funny how your luck can fit inside of a suitcase
All I need is just a round of applause to remind me

Why I left my life behind me

I′m making money for the rhymes I write

And now the honeys wanna hold me tight


But darling, can′t you see, can't you see?
I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of
Oh no, no, no, no
Darling, can′t you see, can't you see?
I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of

She′s looking for a knight in shining armor
A charmer to guard from those who harm her
I ain't the one who′s gonna deal with the hassle
Ain't the type of knight who spends his time in the castle
Call me selfish, hell, yeah, may be true

But I've been looking out for something new
′Cause the same bar in the same part of town
Drinking over and over again could bring a man down
Oh, I′ve been traveling from state to state
Still looking for people who can relate

In hot pursuit of a girl to ease my tension
Pretty little something craves more than attention

Darling, can't you see, can′t you see?
I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of
Oh no, no, no, no
Darling, can't you see, can′t you see?
I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of


Nothing's ever gonna stand in my way
The highway is all that provides me
With the thought that there is something waiting
Strong enough to keep a heart from aching
If love is in the air then I ain′t breathing
Life is short and I'm in such young meaning
The race is won when it is slow and steady
And I'm already, hell, I′m far from good and ready
But we can get together for a one night stand
′Cause girl, I can love you better than any man could

One thing for sure, girl, you know I gotta leave town

But we can mess around
We can mess around

Darling, can't you see, can′t you see?
I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of
Oh no, no, no, no
Darling, can't you see, can′t you see?
I will never be the man, never be the man you dreamed of
Oh no, no
