Half A Man

Willie Nelson (with Merle Haggard)

If I only had one arm to hold you better yet if I had none at all

Then I wouldn't have two arms that ache for you I'd have one less mem'ry to recall

If I only had one ear to listen to the lies that you told to me

Then I would more closely resemble the half a man you've made of me



And if I had been born with but one eye then I only have one eye to cry

And if half of my heart turned to ashes maybe have my heartaches died

And if I only have one leg to stand on

Then how much how much truer picture you'd see

But then I'd more closely resamble the half of man you've made of me

And if I only have one leg to stand on...
