Paragraph Lyric
(Hank Card/Conrad Deisler)I was one tough nut until the day you made me crackI was one tough customer until you paid me backI was one tough cookie 'til I crumbled in your handSince that day I'm half a manI drive my old nine-wheeler down I-two-and-a-halfThe other truckers pity me so they try not to laughI pull off in Yreka and check into Motel ThreeThey've always got a little room for meChorus:Half a man; I'm half a manSometimes I try to do the best I canI know that on my own foot someday I'll have to standBut right now I don't know howBecause I'm only half a manI play solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of twenty-sixYou might think I'm crazy but that's how I get my kicksI listen to Rush Limbaugh 'cause he helps to ease my painHe makes lots of sense if you're a man with half a brainI buy a tenth of whiskey and a cold three-pack of beerI drink 'til I see single when I gaze into my mirrorI know that through that looking glass is where I'll have to beReunited with the better half of meChorusSomeday I'll find a woman and a half and take her handBut 'til then I don't know whenI will be more than half a man
