Hoyt Axton
Man (1980 Film Version)
[David Carradine as Brad Randolph, James T. Callahan as Walt Lawson, Hoyt Axton as Brad's Mechanic, Brad Randolph and any or all of his friends]
(Hey, Brad. Brad, do Man)
(Uh?)
(Do Man)
(Oh, sure)
(Uh)
There's nothin' special in a man
Unless he knows we're all the same
A man has nothing 'til he learns
That all he gets is what he earns
There's no holdin' his head up high [Humming]
Until he eats his humble pie
Tied to the ground by his own fears
A man will sadly waste his years
Before he can rise up and fly
He's got to be prepared to die
(Yeah)
Poor man through it all
Tryin' hard to stand up tall
Doin' his silly dance
[Fallin' all we have a chance?]
Flyin' an' movin' on the Earth
And never knowin' half his worth
Wearin' all his battle scars
Reachin' blindly for the stars [Humming]
He knows he's got to seek his truth, he does the best he can
Proud, humble, dumb, wise, tough, tin man
C'mon, ev'rybody give old man a hand
(Okay)
[Laughter]
