Reasonable Man Lyrics

I went in search of a reasonable man
The one I'd read about in books
And I drew me up a plan
I said I'd like to meet him on a corner if I can
Then we could take either road
Depending upon where we stand
I went in search of a reasonable man

And I thought ooh it must be lonely
To be the only voice of reason
The sky once so rosy
Now I hear a rumbling sound

In silence, drinking coffee for a reasonable time
He said "you're looking pretty"
And I said, "you're looking at your prime
Contender for the future. Will you be mine?"
But his straight-laced face, it all folded up
Took that "it's not so simple" line

And I said, "oh it must be lonely
To be the only voice of reason."
The sky, once so rosy
Now my world is crumbling down

"We need more, reasonable man"
And I said, "you're selling us short, reasonable man"
And I said, "where's your heart, reasonable man?"
'Cause when the going gets tough
Where are you going, reasonable man?"
"When the going gets tough
Where are you going, reasonable man?"
"And when the going gets tough
Where are you going, reasonable man?"
