lyrics

For so many years
I've cried so many wasted tears
thinking he left for another home
but it turns out he just prefers to be alone

He's just a solitary man
who never really had a plan
he's just a solitary man
thank God I finally understand

He threw himself into a partnership
his wife never able to keep him in her grip
he soon became the local bar fly
with booze on his breath he watched the world go by

He's just a solitary man
who never really had a plan
he's just a solitary man
thank God I finally understand

Then one day she had to set things right
he didn't even try to put up a fight
he sucked it up with sorry eyes and head turned down
then he got on his bike and he rode right out of town

He's just a solitary man
who never really had a plan
he's just a solitary man
thank God I finally understand
He's just a solitary man
who never really had a plan
he's just a solitary man
thank God I finally understand
