Tell me the truth, how do you feel?
Like you’re rollin’ so fast that you’re spinnin’ your wheels?
Don’t feel too bad, you’re not all along
We’re all tryin’ to get along
With ev’rybody else try’n’ to go their way
You’re bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
Just go along ’til they turn out the lights
There’s nothin’ we can do to fight it

No man’s got it made till he’s far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on living just the same

I once knew a man, very talented guy
He’s sing for the people and people would cry
They knew that his song came from deep down inside
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes

And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind
Called him home

My man’s got it made
He’s gone far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on living just the same
We who must remain go on laughing just the same

About Lyrics and My Man by Eagles

When you decide to study the lyrics to My Man, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1974 song by Eagles. Some of the lyrics to My Man have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Eagles and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to My Man if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to My Man" means the words set to the music of My Man, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Eagles. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to My Man and the lyrics to My Man are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Eagles who came here looking just for the lyrics to My Man, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
