Sentimental Family Band - Face to a Name

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1606842
Now I’m not one to stick around and hang on every word
But every time I go out your name is all I’ve heard
I haunt the dives, see familiar eyes but never the likes of you
They say you’re the guy, down honest type, one look and I know it ain’t true

Hardly more than a face to a name
A man of consequence don’t act that way
Talking ill of kin, stomping on the places I’ve been
This two-time talker, slack-jaw walker ain’t got one ounce of shame
Hardly more than a face to a name

Well I’d just as soon pretend you’re my friend by the way that they sing your tune
But when they meet you it’s a total deceit, they only meet you under a blue moon
I see the way that you speak on the people who treat your voice like the end of all
But I can’t tell if they were pulling my leg cause you act about two feet tall
