"Superman" lyrics

"Superman"
(feat. Willie Nelson, Mickey Raphael)

[Willie Nelson:]
You know Snoopy a little while back
I had one of those, carpal tunnel operations
And the doctor said "I want you to go home and
SHUT UP (mm) for four months," and that's kinda tough
I said "I'll try it," but while I was there
I wrote this song

Too many pain pills, too much pot
Trying to be something that I'm not - Superman! Superman
Trying to do more than I can, I got a little outta hand
I ain't Superman - know what I'm talking 'bout?

I blew my throat and I blew my tour
I wound up sipping on soup du jour - I wasn't Superman
Oh no, I wasn't Superman
I'm trying to do more than I can, I got a little outta hand
I wasn't Superman

I hear ya! Mickey play with us

Yeah, play that Mickey, go ahead!
Play it, Willie!

Yeah... go ahead, Willie

Well the doctor said son it's a crying shame
But you ain't Clark Kent and I ain't Lois Lane
You ain't Superman; you ain't Superman
Trying to do more than you can, you got a little outta hand
You ain't Superman - what d'you think, Snoop?

Well when I die, put it on my stone
God said Snoop you take your bad ass home you wasn't Superman, Ha ha ha
No, I wasn't Superman
I'm trying to do more than I can, I got a little outta hand
I wasn't Superman (I hear ya!)

Trying to do more than I can, I got a little outta hand
I ain't Superman, yeah
