Lyrics
i don't know where i stand
i'm just an outline of a man
with nothing left inside you would ever understand
just an outline of a man
i was finished before i began
i'm just an outline of a man
and i'll never ever be there to lend a helping hand
just an outline of a man
i'm just an outline of a man
as certain as the sun will rise
and as sure as the drum will beat
i'll never feel complete
i'll never be a part of god's plan
i'm just an outline of a man
and long ago i sunk right down to the bottomland
just an outline of a man
cancel me while you can
i'm just an outline of a man
like an empty heart
my insides fell apart
and they turned to sand
just an outline of a man
i'm just an outline of a man
as certain as the sun will rise
and as sure as the drum will beat
i'll never feel complete
