Superman Lyrics

[Intro: 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
[strums his guitar]


[Willie Nelson]
Too many pain pills, too much pot
Tryin to be somethin that I'm not - Superman! Superman
Tryin to do more than I can, I got a little outta hand
I ain't Superman - know what I'm talkin 'bout?

[Snoop Dogg]
I blew my throat and I blew my tour
I wound up sippin on soup du jour - I wasn't Superman
Oh no, I wasn't Superman
I'm tryin to do more than I can, I got a little outta hand
I wasn't Superman

[Willie Nelson]
I hear ya! Mickey play with us

[Harmonica Solo]
[Snoop Dogg]
Yeah, play that Mickey, go ahead!
Play it Willie!
[more harmonica]
Yeah... go ahead Willie

[Willie Nelson]
Well the doctor said son it's a cryin shame
But you ain't Clark Kent and I ain't Lois Lane
You ain't Superman; you ain't Superman
Tryin to do more than you can, you got a little outta hand
You ain't Superman - whaddya think Snoop?

[Snoop Dogg]
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 tryin to do more than I can, I got a little outta hand
I wasn't Superman (I hear ya!)

[Both]
Tryin to do more than I can, I got a little outta hand
I ain't Superman, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
