Now my daddy died when I was three My momma didn't bounce me on her knee My grandpa and grandma done passed on That kinda left me on my own
My wife took off after our first child Oh my kind of ramblin' life wasn't her kinda style So I kinda toughed up and learned not to feel They started calling me the man of steel
Hey my friends all called me superman I never let a woman get the upper hand Lord I don't know what now I'm a gonna do The man of steel done got the blues
Now I've been hurt inside and out Some of you know what I'm talking about You'll think your poor heart will never never heal you'll wish you were the man of steel
My friends all call me superman...
That woman she gave me the blues No woman ever got the best of me I could walk right out with ease
Till I fell in love and she walked out The man of steel got melted down Now I can't sleep and I can't eat Can't no watch no love scenes on TV
Now I don't know what I'm going to do the man of steel done got the blues my friends call me superman superman never let a woman get the upper-hand
Lord I don't know what I'm a gonna do Hey the man of steel done got the blues Lord I don't know what I'm a gonna do Even ol' superman gets the blues Hey now that woman she gave me the blues
