I am not a bad man I want you to know I signed up when I was 19 Now 24 years old There’s ghosts that follow me around Things I’ve seen and did But I am not a bad man Just an American kid I bet you see a stranger When you look at me When I look in the mirror I know that’s what I see Got some pills to get my head right But they don’t work so well So I drank a little more tonight And here is where I fell I bet you see a stranger When you look at me When I look in the mirror I know that’s what I see I just want a little sleep now A sleep that’s silent as snow But I am not a bad man I just wanted you to know
