He was gone two years, two years that I thought would never end
Now P.F.C. Williams is just plain old Jimmy again
But he doesnt make faces to cheer up the children
The way that he used to before
And he doesnt feed the pigeons or sing in the shower
I dont hear his laugh anymore
His face has grown old and his eyes have grown cold
And they tell you of where he has been
Congratulations, you sure made a man out of him
And I know he wont finish that tree house he started
A month before he went away
And although he takes me to church every Sunday
He sits there but he doesnt pray
He keeps things in sight like theyve got something to hide
I admit it, you did it, you win
Congratulations, you sure made a man out of him
