**************************

I've been travelin' down these roads I've got achin' in my soul
And I like to settle myself down lay up in a place that I call home
But I haven't found that time or place or the restful peace of my mind
But someday I know I'm going to see instead of going down the road so blind

Well I keep climbin' these walls
But I always end up in a fall
Don't feel like a man at all
No I don't feel like a man at all

If I could ever oh find my way to somebody's touch hell I'd stay
But all those faces they frown on me yeah sends my soul runnin' away
I'm always searchin' but can't seem to find the answer for this life of mine
Cause my broken dreams has shattered me which keeps my world way behind

Well I keep climbin' these walls
And I always end up in a fall
Don't feel like a man at all
Yeah I don't feel like a man at all

I keep climbin' these walls
And I always end up in a fall
Don't feel like a man at all
Yeah I don't feel like a man I don't feel like a man at all,
at all, at all, like a man

Great song. I like the dynamics. Nice harmonies. Great vocals. The guitar parts are nice and melodic. Good tone. Nice changes. I love the shuffle of the drums.
