(John Hiatt)



I'm a real man, I got a real guitar

I'm a real man, don't even know where the boys are

Don't want to frighten you little girl, you're so sweet and nice

Don't want to have to tell you twice



I'm a real man,

I'm goin' to rock like a real man

Don't get no shock from that elevator music in your computer program

How'd you like to rock with a real man?



Yes I'm a real man, baby, I'm not lyin'

I'm thirty-four years old now and I still don't mind dyin'

You can put the voodoo on me, girl

There's nothing I can't dodge

Just check out this Roller in my garage



Kids, these days, I'm talkin' about these young folk

About as wild as Pollyanna after she growed up

After a hard day at the Casiotone they just don't want to live

They're about as dangerous as a junior executive



I'm a real man,

I'm goin' to rock like a real man

Don't get no shock from that elevator music in your computer program

How'd you like to rock with a real man?



Every dollar I earn

Girl, I let it all burn

And if I wind up in jail

There's only one of 2672 women that I know

Who would gladly pay my bail



- Guitar Break -



Now you might say I'm just some fool on a boast

But I wasn't gonna hear ya girl from coast to coast

This ain't Dan Rather talkin', this ain't the president's son

I'm still gonna have my fun



I'm a real man

I'm goin' to rock like a real man

Don't get no shock from that elevator music in your computer program

How'd you like to rock with a real man?

Turn off that elevator music in your computer program

How'd you like to rock with a real man?

Turn off that elevator music, in your computer program

Come on and rock with a real man!
