There's man
Standing on a corner
Drinking his wine
Don't know where he's been
But he sure feels fine
For a moment he thinks back
To what he left behind
He just shrugs
And looks into the bottom
Of an empty bottle of wine
Now picture a lady
Left all alone
He went to get cigarettes
And he's never coming home
Ch: What did she do
What did she do
Why don't he come back home
Why don't he care
Why don't he come back home
So she can love her man
So she can love her man
Now he digs his hands
Into his empty pockets
He ain't got no shoes on his feet
But he still wears her locket
Now you see her mending his clothes
And sewing away
She thinks he's coming home
But he's there to stay
What did she do
What did she do
Whay don't he come back home
Why don't he care
Why don't he come back home
So she can love her man
Now you see her kneeling in church
And she starts to pray
She screams Oh Lord
Help him find his way
Now you see him
Going through cans
And crying in vain
He says what can I do
I'm just an empty man
