Mad Man

[Verse 1]

He's a modern day Jekyll and Hyde

Mixin' pride with the cold hard facts

Starin' awful hard at a picture on a bar

Of a girl that he won't get back

He's talkin' to himself, knowin' damn well

His self doesn't know what now

'Cept fire shots of Jack and poppin' caps

Of Silver Bullets in his mouth

[Chorus]

He's a mad man at the world

'Cause a girl told him goodbye

His thumbs-up has been grounded

Now it's that bird he loves to fly

Might be happy hour to you

But his mind ain't nowhere near

It's busy goin' crazy on the heels of her Mercedes

Drivin' back home north of eighty towards the badlands

He's still holdin' on like a mad man

[Verse 2]

He ain't lookin' for a fight

But that might be what you get

If you light that fuse that looks to you

Like a half-smoked cigarette

Just leave his glass half-empty

He's better off left alone

Kinda like a house up the road

The lights are on, but no one's home

[Chorus]

He's a mad man at the world

'Cause a girl told him goodbye

Now his thumbs-up has been grounded

It's that bird he loves to fly

It might be happy hour to you

But his mind ain't nowhere near there

It's busy goin' crazy on the heels of her Mercedes

Drivin' back home north of eighty to the badlands

He's still holdin' on

[Outro]

Like a mad man

Yeah, like a mad man

Mad man

Like a mad, mad man
