Carrie Elkin — Shell of a Man lyrics

Lyrics

Don’t knock against me You’ll find out I’m empty
You’ll find out I’m a shell of a man
Got nothing to lose but a broken heart
Feel free to take it with you
Cause it’s tearing me apart
Faith was never with me I found it all out early
I found it in the palm of my hand
The old lady said I had a few years left
But I just kept runnin'
Didn’t give the girls my best
Oh goodnight, goodnight
I might not wake tomorrow
I might not say good morning
But I’ll always say goodnight
Don’t knock against me You’ll find out I’m empty
You’ll find out I’m a shell of a man
Got seven angels singin' from a mountain on high
Hallelujah to the man with the short lifeline
Thought jesus never loved me With a knife hangin' bove me
I’m inclined to stand on bended knee
I got one hand in my pocket so the world won’t see
Where the old lady said they gonna bury me Oh goodnight, goodnight
I might not wake tomorrow
I might not say good morning
But I’ll always say goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
I might not wake tomorrow
I might not say good morning
But I’ll always say goodnight
Don’t knock against me You’ll find out I’m empty
You’ll find out I’m a shell of a man.
