Man or the Song

When I'm lookin' in a mirror

I see a man on fire

Am I...a radio poet or a bar room liar

If I put my guitar down

Would I disappear

Move back to my hometown

Would you still be here

I sing about highways and worlds turnin' sideways

Goodbyes and driveways and love that don't die

I sing about leavin', gettin' drunk on a feelin'

Make 'em believe it'll all be alright

But whoa, oh, oh

When the rhinestones fade and the world moves on

Whoa, oh, oh

Will you love the man or the song

Yeah, I know it's been a long road

In and out of tune

But I can do it with my eyes closed

Some nights I do

Every star's gotta burn out

I wonder if you know it's not who I am

It's just what I do

I sing about highways and worlds turnin' sideways

Goodbyes and driveways and love that don't die

I sing about leavin', gettin' drunk on a feelin'

Make 'em believe it'll all be alright

But whoa, oh, oh

When the rhinestones fade and the world moves on

Whoa, oh, oh

Will you love the man or the

Song that I wrote

That echoes through the rafters

Will you still dance to it

Will it even matter

I sing about highways

I sing about you

I sing about highways and worlds turnin' sideways

Goodbyes and driveways and love that don't die

I sing about leavin', gettin' drunk on a feelin'

Make 'em believe it'll all be alright

But whoa, oh, oh

When the rhinestones fade and the world moves on

Whoa, oh, oh

Will you love the man or the song

Am I the man or the song
