see the man

see the man run from his problems

see the man face down in a bottle

see the man realize old ghosts ride along

you can't drive when you're too damn stoned

see the man in a three piece suit

see the man in a rolls-royce car

you know that man's realized that he can't buy friends

but he buys all the drinks all night long

see the man goin' down in flames

it ain't about money

lord

it ain't about fame

you see that man's goin' down on his knees

as he begs for one more please

shoot 'em down

i didn't pull the trigger but i gave 'em the gun

one more round

in the chamber and it's done

if he could see

oh

through these eyes i've seen

then he'll put that bottle down

stop drinkin' to the ground

see the man turnin' off the barlights

see the man thank god to see his home lights

you know that man's dead sober when he walks through the door

when you drink all alone you can drink 'till four

see the man pickin out a song

you see that man put the guitar down

you know that man's realized another day's passed by

but you can't find the bed when you're spinnin' around

see the man goin' down in flames

it ain't about money

lord

it ain't about fame

you see that man's goin' down on his knees

as he begs for no more please

shoot 'em down

it's time i pull the trigger 'till i empty the gun

no more rounds

in the chamber and it's done

lord

i see

oh

through these eyes i've seen

go on and put that bottle down

and stop

drinkin' to the ground

shoot 'em down

didn't pull the trigger but i gave him the gun

no more rounds

in the chamber then it's done

lord

i see

oh

through these eyes i've seen

go on and put that bottle down

and stop drinkin' to the ground
