Lady Antebellum - The Woman Makes The Man lyrics

Im all busted aces and empty pockets An arrow shot straight through a locket In this cheap hotel room on this lonesome highway Everything I own in this tattered old suitcase But you know I havent always been this way (Chorus) I used to be a hero, and a lover She brought out the best in me But now Im just lonesome with a broken heart Half the man I used to be It took losing her, for me to finally understand That the woman really makes the man She was like an angel Sweet as Tubelo Honey Every move she made was right on the money But I took her for granted Cause I thought I always hold her And she bought into everyone line that I sold her Oh but I threw it all away Oh why did I throw it all away? I used to be a hero, and a lover She brought out the best in me But now Im just lonesome with a broken heart Half the man I used to be It took losing her for me to finally understand That the woman really makes the man Well this face staring back at me in this mirror Aint the face I wanna see Gotta figure out how to get back To who I used to be Oh yeah, oh I used to be a hero, and a lover She brought out the best in me But now Im just lonesome with a broken heart Half the man I used to be It took losing her for me, to finally understand That the woman really makes the man Yes A woman really makes a man
