I Hardly Know How To Be Myself

I Hardly Know How To Be Myself - Rodney Crowell

Go out and hear a band at some club downtown

Walk home in the rain and let it soak me down

Smile and shuffle past all the faces at the door

I hardly know how to be myself anymore

I wonder where you are do I exist for you

That pain that never quits ever get's you too

I think about my life and what it's headed for

I hardly know how to be myself anymore

I know how to chase the night away

Show no feelings by the light of day

I know how to keep it all intact

Tears may fall but there's no holding back

Time runs by me like a river cold

It sends a shiver way down in my soul

I see my past just like a mask I wore

I hardly know how to be myself anymore

I know how to face the night alone

And keep my distance on the telephone

I know how to get my crying done

Tears may fall but I don't show no one

I go out and hear a band at some club on down the street

I shake the hands of all the people that I meet

I hope they find just what they're looking for

I hardly know how to be myself anymore

I hardly know how to be myself anymore

I hardly know how to be myself

I hardly know how to be myself anymore
