Who knows what i'm doing here tonight on this barstool
As if i didn't know where i should be
Through the darkness of the dim neon, and lonely shade of blue
The light is a mighty hard thing to see
But sitting here, it just occurred to me


(chorus)
I was the man she counted on
To do her right, lord she was wrong
I was the man who wasn't there
Who made it seem he didn't care
Now she needs someone to hold her
To make her feel alive
And she'll be with a different man tonight


I can't believe i turned my back to the love there in her heart
And turned away from those tears in her eyes
Now i know where i belong is right there in her arms
Though it took so long for me to see the light
I'm leaving here a different man tonight


(repeat chorus)


(tag)
Now she needs someone to hold her
And make her feel alive
And she'll be with a different man tonight
Oh she'll be with a different man tonight
