too much for the man (from hunters creek)
(al parsons)

After 500 miles in 12 hours flat
He pulls his rig out front of his two room shack
Walks through the front door and to their surprise
His best friend and his wife stare with four big eyes

Now he plays it cool he doesn’t want a fight
But his prides been hurt he ain’t about to cry
Headin back to his truck for his long blue steel
He hears the back door slam they run across the field

You know it gets real dark outside of town
And you can’t see nothing for miles around
So when he fired two times from his car spotlight
There was no one to see or hear that night

He didn’t want it this way you know he thought she was true
With all the time away she must have been blue
But to hurt him real bad and to cut him real deep
Was too much for the man from Hunters Creek

Now he lives his life from bar to bar
He gets close to no one but his dog and his car
He might dance with a woman even take one home
But when the morning comes she’ll be all alone

He didn’t want it this way but what else could he do
No one will ever find out but the man in the moon
But to hurt him real bad and to cut him real deep
Was too much for the man from Hunters Creek
Too much for the man from Hunters Creek
