The Way Of Men

The Way Of Men

©David Walburn 1999

VERSE

Captains load you boats with plenty of supplies

Everything you can think of that will help the men survive

But save most of the room for whiskey by the drum

Make sure we don’t run out until we’re many miles from him

CHORUS

It’s The Way Of Men a need for adventure

And plenty of open spaces we can roam

It’s The Way of Men a need for adventure

Because we will never be satisfied just staying at home

VERSE

What possesses men to leave their women folk behind

Strike out on a journey just to see what they can find

When all they do is think about their lady’s tender kiss

And all the many ways they’ll make up for the lovings that they’ve missed

CHORUS (Repeat)

VERSE

I knew I didn’t like you from the moment that we met

Maybe it was your shifty eyes or just the way you spit

But I know you stole my knife because you ain’t nothing but a bum

So first I’m gonna whoop you good, then shoot you with my gun

CHORUS (Repeat)

VERSE

Now beaver line the riverbanks and gold is everywhere

It is all for the taking for any man who dares

So, honey I’ll be gone for just a year or two

But when I return a richer man, I’ll make it up to you

CHORUS (Repeat)
