.45 Caliber Man

[Verse 1]
When I was young we used to be quite insane
We laughed and sang and we played at our games
And used to try to hear what father was sayin'
But he never even tried to know our names

[Chorus]
Your mind is keeping its distance
Why you don't understand
And now you ask for forgiveness
.45 caliber man (Oh)

[Verse 2]
When we were older, started wastin' our time
With our loves, drinkin' dulling wine
And father used to say that we were unkind
For we nevеr stayed home a single night

[Bridge]
Oh, .45 calibеr man
You're so much more than our twenty-two
But there's so many more of us than you

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Now years have passed and we have altered our plan
Brother's gone after givin' 'way his hand
And I must try so hard to save what I can
And it hurts me that you still don't understand

[Bridge]
Oh, .45 caliber man
You're so much more than our twenty-two
But there's so many more of us than you

[Chorus]
Your mind is keeping its distance
Why you don't understand
And now you ask for forgiveness
.45 caliber man
.45 caliber man
