"The Likes Of Me" lyrics

The Likes Of Me

See outside
The rain it pours
The lightning flashes
The thunder roars
Woman you'd stand
A better chance
At trying to tame
The elements

Rather than try
To tame my soul
Or think your love
Could ever hold
To the likes of me

It ain't I
Wouldn't like to stay
Live my life
In an ordinary way
Nine to five
A family
A little baby boy
On my knee

But woman I'd only
Break your heart
Cause that kinda life
Ain't in the cards
For the likes of me

The likes of me
That knows no home
But the town I'm in
Or the road I'm on
I got a restless soul
And I'll never be still
The likes of me
No woman can trust
I was born with a soul
Full of wandering lust
And I'll chase that sunrise over the hill

I can see
The design
Of the picture
In your mind
You think you
Could change my life
You'd make me
A perfect wife

Well, woman you're sweet
You're loving, you're kind
So don't mess up
Your pretty little mind
On the likes of me
