lyrics

If you see your mother, please say hello from an old friend, I once knew her. She’d say, “You ain’t the man that you pretend to be.” I’d hang round the estate every Saturday night while your daddy played cards, he said it was alright. “You ain’t the man that you pretend to be.”

Now I wake up on a slow train, I fell asleep in the wrong place. She wanted to hear a love song. Now I wake up on a slow train, I fell asleep in the wrong place. She wanted to hear a love song, I sang her one.

One night I came round, all the lights were out, she was crying in the dark, asked me for a ride. She said, “You ain’t the man that you pretend to be.” So I took her away for a while until she figured out I didn’t have much, some torn clothes and wanderlust. “You ain’t the man that you pretend to be.”

Now I wake up on a slow train, I fell asleep in the wrong place. She wanted to learn a love song. Now I wake up on a slow train, I fell asleep in the wrong place. She wanted to learn a love song, I sang it to her.
