We all remember
What they left of him
They looked on and laughed
At a time we couldn't bare
The weight
And they say
Where were you when he came into town?
Quit your hiding, boy look around
We know not on which he rode
But the man bore a story
Once heard, must be told
A better way is on the way now
And our hearts belong on our sleeves
But they made an example of him to make sure
The man of tomorrow won't come again
He won't come again
Look what happened to the martyr they made of him
People walked for miles to see where he'd lay
Where were you when he came into town?
Quit your hiding, boy look around
We know not on which he rode
But the man bore a story
Once heard, must be told
A better way is on the way now
And our hearts belong on our sleeves
But they made an example of him to make sure
The man of tomorrow won't come again
No, he won't come again
He said, "What are you running from my son
Don't hang your head for the things you've done
Live your life in honesty"
And mama said, "You're just like me"
He said, "What are you running from my son
Don't hang your head for the things you've done
Live your life in honesty"
And mama said, "You're just like me"
Where were you when he came into town
Quit your hiding, boy look around
We know not on which he rode
But the man bore a story
Once heard, must be told
A better way is on the way now
And our hearts belong on our sleeves
But they made an example of him
Now the man of tomorrow is just like me
You're just like me
