I'm A Real Man

(John Hiatt)

I'm a real man, I got a real guitar
I'm a real man, don't even know where the boys are
Don't want to frighten you little girl, you're so sweet and nice
Don't want to have to tell you twice

I'm a real man,
I'm goin' to rock like a real man
Don't get no shock from that elevator music in your computer program
How'd you like to rock with a real man?

Yes I'm a real man, baby, I'm not lyin'
I'm thirty-four years old now and I still don't mind dyin'
You can put the voodoo on me, girl
There's nothing I can't dodge
Just check out this Roller in my garage

Kids, these days, I'm talkin' about these young folk
About as wild as Pollyanna after she growed up
After a hard day at the Casiotone they just don't want to live
They're about as dangerous as a junior executive

I'm a real man,
I'm goin' to rock like a real man
Don't get no shock from that elevator music in your computer program
How'd you like to rock with a real man?

Every dollar I earn
Girl, I let it all burn
And if I wind up in jail
There's only one of 2672 women that I know
Who would gladly pay my bail

Now you might say I'm just some fool on a boast
But I wasn't gonna hear ya girl from coast to coast
This ain't Dan Rather talkin', this ain't the president's son
I'm still gonna have my fun

I'm a real man
I'm goin' to rock like a real man
Don't get no shock from that elevator music in your computer program
How'd you like to rock with a real man?
Turn off that elevator music in your computer program
How'd you like to rock with a real man?
Turn off that elevator music, in your computer program
Come on and rock with a real man!
