Modest Man of Mighty Deeds lyrics | |
Don't you ever dry out and rust x2
City light shining on the boy and his Queen of York
Said, "son, while you're livin' won't you find what you're breathing for"
But before we keel o-o-over and die
There is one thing left in life for us to decide
Will you be the one who's ventured outside?
Don't you ever dry out and rust x2
And when you see, when you see your wife
She'll say don't you know that wine, wine turns a fool wise
We get all dressed up just to get down
And I'm the clown who seeks her heart
No wise man a fool from the start
"Come," she said, "look inside and you'll see."
Oh but darlin' I don't know, I don't know if I can be,
Your modest man of mighty deeds
Don't you ever dry out and rust x2
And when you're worn with weary bones
Walkin down an empty road
Take my hand, whisper something soft and low
See you smile, catch your breath against the cold
"Come," she said, "look inside and you'll see."
Oh and darlin' yes I know, yes I know that I can be,
Your modest man of mighty deeds
(Don't you ever dry out and rust)
Don't you ever dry out and rust x4
