A Lot Like Me - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

High up on a rocky ledge

Holdin' all she’s got

It ain’t much except

The shattered dream and broken heart

He used her up

Made her old before her time

She’s gonna take that final step

And leave her pain behind

All the sins that men commit before their done

Her lover had one lying silver tongue

She won’t speak his name, it’s too much to bear

But I saw his face as he left her there

Wooh oh ohoh

Sure looked a lot like me (sure looked a lot like me)

Wooh ahahah wooh

Sure looked a lot like me

He was just a boy barely 17

Feelin' drunk and talkin' tough

But he wasn’t really mean

Bumped into this sidewinder

Should have backed way

Gave him some lip

Turned out they were

The last words he would say

All the sins that men commit before their done

His killer backed into one smokin' silver gun

No one asked his name, nobody cared

But I saw his face as the blue smoke cleared

Wooh oh ohoh

Sure looked a lot like me (sure looked a lot like me)

Wooh ahahah wooh

Sure looked a lot like me

Devil came and said, Sinner finally you are mine

But pardon me Mr. Devil but I think I need more time

I’ve got a lot of mendin' up in life to do

The Devil said, You should have thought of that

Before I came for you

Take this rope and wind it once for every lie

Once for every thoughtless act

And twice for tears they cried

Walk 50 miles naked in the desert sun

Praying for the souls that you have ruined, one by one

No one knew his name, nobody cared

But I saw his face as he was hangin' there

Wooh oh ohoh

Sure looked a lot like me (sure looked a lot like me)

Wooh ahahah wooh

Sure looked a lot like me

Wooh oh ohoh

Sure looked a lot like me (sure looked a lot like me)

Wooh ahahah wooh

Sure looked a lot like me

He sure looked a lot like me
