[Verse 1]
I'm just a man (What’s a man?)
In a concrete jungle hotel (What's a man?)
Listening to the gospel on the AM
Like the ocean in a seashell
Sunlight through my window (Sunlight)
Illuminates the plan (What's a man?)
Gonna have to go stick my neck out (What’s a man?)
Show them what's a man (What's a man?)

[Chorus]
A man is made of his wishes and worries
And ships that have already sailed
Countdowns, splashdowns, hellhounds
Hammers dreaming of nails
Hashbrowns, greyhounds, touchdowns
And a soul song that he can wail

[Verse 2]
Hey now, what'd I tell ya?
Shoulda listened to me
Why can't you understand
What ya see is what ya get
Let me tell you what's a man
What ya see is what ya get
If it's a fit, don't quit
Let me tell you what’s a man (What ya see is what ya get)
[Chorus]
A man is made of his wishes and worries
And ships that have already sailed
Countdowns, splashdowns, hellhounds
Hammers dreaming of nails
Hashbrowns, greyhounds, touchdowns
And a soul song

[Chorus]
A man is made of his wishes and worries
And ships that have already sailed
Countdowns, splashdowns, hellhounds
Hammers dreaming of nails
Hashbrowns, greyhounds, touchdowns
And a soul song, oh a soul song
Oh a soul song, baby, that I can wail
Oh, baby that I can wail
Oh, baby that I can wail
