Cousin Hatfield - Man on the Outskirts Lyrics

I lost everything in my life, shows the tear behind his eye
Staring into his glass, while people pass him by
But when I look beyond his strong lined face
I can't help wondering why what is on his worried mind

Every night you find him on the outskirts
Drinking all his memories away
While he thinks about his kids, they're growing older
He's just gonna miss that anyway

He tells me he's longing to change, that he wants to go back home
Holding his kids one more time, fixing everything he's done
Knowing the only way is in his head
Where did I go wrong, still the time is moving on

Every night you find him on the outskirts
Drinking all his memories away
While he thinks about his kids, they're growing older
He's just gonna miss that anyway

I can still see him sitting there
I'd like to tell myself he's just out there doing fine
It crosses my mind while I pass his empty chair

Every night you find him on the outskirts
Drinking all his memories away
While he thinks about his kids, they're growing older
He's just gonna miss that anyway
