Well she was sitting alone in the booth in the corner And I know the look of a lonely woman Me being full of liquid courage I walked on over to lend her a shoulder Well it didn't take long for her to heed right up She told me a story of love and bad luck As I opened the passenger door to my truck I said "I hope you don't mind that I speak my mind" It takes a man to get a man off your mind Let me take a chance You'll understand you gotta give it time It takes a man to get a man off your mind Well we rode every back road on my silverado The brown paper bag holding booze from a bottle Got a tear in her eyes when she heard their songs On the radio so I held her close She wasn't looking for love she only want some company Gave me a chance and I hit the ground running I made her laugh she said "I think it funny" I said "Moe nobody love you like a poor man honey" It takes a man to get a man off your mind Let me take a chance You'll understand you gotta give it time It takes a man to get a man off your mind Oh baby It takes a man to get a man off your mind Baby take a chance You'll understand you gotta give it time It takes a man to get a man off your Man to get a man off your Man to get a man off your mind
