Lyrics
MR. NICE GUY
By Gary Skankey
See the man, head in hand and a couple tears have welled up in his eyes
Anxiously longs to be the type of man whose courage never dies
When he's faced with his Rubicon
He crawls away 'cause he can't go on, can't go on
Nice try, nice try, Mr. Nice guy
But, you let your fears get in the way again
Nice try, nice try, Mr. Nice guy
You've got nothing to lose, but all the world to gain
Weary soul, lofty goal, and he wished his mountains weren't so high to climb
Doesn't see destiny is a might beacon powered by the mind
He rises to make a try once more
But, still he's losing his private war, endless war
