When I saw Marlon Brando on the big screen like a hero
It made me act and feel like one too
For three or four hours I thought no one could touch me
Then I skidded back to feelin' like I do
I'm lost, crazy lonesome
A plane with no place to land
And I do what I have to
To make me feel like a man
Feel like a man
When I was 22 years old, my daddy he was 70
I didn't know how a young man's supposed to be
A few years after that he breathed his final breath
But there's some secret he forgot to whisper to me
And I'm lost, crazy lonesome
A plane with no place to land
And I do what I have to
To make me feel like a man
Feel like a man
And I look in the mirror
And I wait for the d*** thing to speak
Who needs answers
One good question would be a relief
So I go to all the movies and I memorize my lines
And I try to stumble through another day
And I'm always looking for the perfect jacket
Or a million dollars, or a bullet
Is it only me who goes through life this way
Lost, crazy lonesome
A plane with no place to land
And I do anything
To make me feel like a man
Feel like a man
It made me act and feel like one too
For three or four hours I thought no one could touch me
Then I skidded back to feelin' like I do
I'm lost, crazy lonesome
A plane with no place to land
And I do what I have to
To make me feel like a man
Feel like a man
When I was 22 years old, my daddy he was 70
I didn't know how a young man's supposed to be
A few years after that he breathed his final breath
But there's some secret he forgot to whisper to me
And I'm lost, crazy lonesome
A plane with no place to land
And I do what I have to
To make me feel like a man
Feel like a man
And I look in the mirror
And I wait for the d*** thing to speak
Who needs answers
