Dave Alvin

(Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI)



The man in the bed isn't me

Now I slipped out the door and I'm runnin' free

Young and wild like I'll always be

No the man in the bed isn't me.



And these tremblin' hands, they're not mine

Now my hands are strong and steady all the time

They can swing a sledge hammer or soothe a baby that's cryin'

These trembling hands, they're not mine.



Now the nurse over there doesn't know

That I ain't some helpless old so-and-so

I could have broken her heart not that long ago

Now the nurse over there doesn't know.



That the man in the bed isn't me

?Cause I slipped out the door and I'm runnin' free

Young and wild like I'll always be

The man in the bed isn't me.



I'm the man I've always been

I'm the kid who rode the rails through the Great Depression

I fought in the big war and marched for the Union

I'm the man I've always been.



So don't believe what the doctors say

They're just makin' things up so they can get paid

Yeah, and it ain't me they're talkin' about anyway

So don't believe what the doctors say.



?Cause the man in the bed isn't me

Well I slipped out the door and I'm finally free

Young and wild like I'll always be

No the man in the bed isn't me

No the man in the bed isn't me

No the man in the bed isn't me.
