Lyrics of Half a man

(hank card/conrad deisler)
I was one tough nut until the day you made me crack
I was one tough customer until you paid me back
I was one tough cookie 'til i crumbled in your hand
Since that day i'm half a man
I drive my old nine-wheeler down i-two-and-a-half
The other truckers pity me so they try not to laugh
I pull off in yreka and check into motel three
They've always got a little room for me
Chorus:
Half a man; i'm half a man
Sometimes i try to do the best i can
I know that on my own foot someday i'll have to stand
But right now i don't know how
Because i'm only half a man
I play solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of twenty-six
You might think i'm crazy but that's how i get my kicks
I listen to rush limbaugh 'cause he helps to ease my pain
He makes lots of sense if you're a man with half a brain
I buy a tenth of whiskey and a cold three-pack of beer
I drink 'til i see single when i gaze into my mirror
I know that through that looking glass is where i'll have to be
Reunited with the better half of me
Chorus
Someday i'll find a woman and a half and take her hand
But 'til then i don't know when
I will be more than half a man
