Who's That Man Lyrics
Turn left at the old hotel
I know this boulevard much too well it hasn't changed since I been gone
Oh this used to be my way home
They paved the road thru the neighborhood
I guess the county finally fixed good it was gettin' rough
Someone finally complained enough
Fight the tears back with a smile
Stop and look for a little while oh it's plain to see
The only thing missing is me
That's my house and that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Who's that man, runnin' my life
If I pulled in would it cause a scene
There not really expectin me those kid's have been thru hell
I hear they've adjusted well
Turn around in the neigbors drive
I'd be hard to recognise in this pick-up truck
It's just an old fixer up
Drive away one more time
Lot of things runnin' thru my mind I guess the less things change
The more they never seem the same
That's my house and that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Who's that man, runnin' my life
That's my house and that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Who's that man, runnin' my life
I know this boulevard much too well it hasn't changed since I been gone
Oh this used to be my way home
I guess the county finally fixed good it was gettin' rough
Someone finally complained enough
Stop and look for a little while oh it's plain to see
The only thing missing is me
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Who's that man, runnin' my life
There not really expectin me those kid's have been thru hell
I hear they've adjusted well
I'd be hard to recognise in this pick-up truck
It's just an old fixer up
Lot of things runnin' thru my mind I guess the less things change
The more they never seem the same
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Who's that man, runnin' my life
That's my dog in my back yard

Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Who's that man, runnin' my life

wow this song is pretty sad. but i love it. like i said with alot of other songs by toby this is a classic and still today plays alot of the radio.
Simple song about the harshness of divorce.
I actually think that the main character is dead...think about it. "who's that man running my life?" he might mean god.
Country songs like this always fascinate me because you pick up a lot in such simple songs. The song is fairly clearcut, yet when you hear it from the singer you can relate to them and their opinions and what they're going through.
"There's the window to the room Where she lays her pretty head"
Above is one example.
I actually think it is about a man that just one day left his family and didn\'t come back. Literally left them cold turkey. \nI mean, sure divorce may have been part of it, but he sure didn\'t try to stay in his kids lives.
