Lyrics of Miserable Man by David Kushner
verse
Let′s pack our stuff now and run away
We can't be all we want in this small town
Our life was rough so, let′s make our days
What we want, and I'll give you my last name
pre-chorus
We'll take our chances after all these letdowns
Let′s keep our patience until ourselves are found
chorus
All we wanted
Was a place to feel like home
That′s why we parted
From our ways to heal our souls
I'm a small town miserable man
That does what he can
I′m a small town miserable man
That does what he can
I'm a miserable man
verse
It′s been some years now and we're okay
We have some kids and built our dream house
We′re eating dinner, so we're saying grace
Without the light we wouldn't find our way
pre-chorus
How are we standing
From misery to this now?
′Cause we′ve been stranded
To screaming this out loud
chorus
All we wanted
Was a place to feel like home
That's why we parted
From our ways to heal our souls
I′m a small town miserable man
That does what he can
I'm a small town miserable man
That does what he can
I′m a miserable man
outro
(I'm a miserable man)
(I′m a miserable man)
(I'm a miserable man)
I'm a miserable man
Writer(s): Abe Parker, David Alan Kushner Ii
