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
