From the recording The April Fools
Lyrics
Not the Man She Knew
He’s drinking coffee and wondering why
He dropped the ball and had to fly
He left her shaking alone and blue
She still remembers he’s not the man she knew
She knew a good boy, a stand up guy
He promised forever til the day he died
Now that day’s closing in
Her words ring true
She still remembers he’s not the man she knew
This world has certain ways of making you pay to play
It was a world he didn’t know
He was wrong to let her go
This world has certain ways of making you pay to play
It was a world she didn’t know
She was sad to watch him go
The kids are grown now
With kids of their own
He’s still in the picture but he can never go home
That’s what it cost, man
You know it’s true
She still remembers he’s not the man she knew
