  • I am not a bad man
    I want you to know
    I signed up when I was nineteen
    Now I'm twenty—four years old

    There's ghosts that follow me around
    Things I've seen and did
    But I am not a bad man
    Just an American kid

    I bet you see a stranger
    When you look at me
    When I look into the mirror
    I know that's what I see

    I got some pills to get my head right
    But they don't work so well
    So I drank a little more tonight
    And here is where I fell

    I bet you see a stranger
    When you look at me
    When I look into the mirror
    I know that's what I see

    I just want a little sleep now
    A sleep that's silent as the snow
    But I am not a bad man
    I just wanted you to know Writer/s: PATRICIA J. GRIFFIN
