I was down and out

I was down and out

And on the road

I didn't know what to do

I was feeling life

The way it was

I was feeling it oh so true

I was understanding

All the madness

I was understanding the pain

I was doing

What I had to do

It was driving me in sane

I was going here

And going there

Not knowing what I'd become

Except a man

Who lost it all

And ended up a bum

Then all of a sudden

It happened to me

Way out of the blue

I met a women

Who liked me

And the things I had to do

To stay alive

In a hard world

Where pain and suffering is

Through the things

You may never see

And I will never miss

So I was lucky

To get a break

To see my future unfold

Yet many never

Get that chance

As thet die young not old

With all the power

Of their glory

Never ever said

Because it's to late

For them now

Because they are dead

Respect to them

For living this way

And doing what they do

For life is hard

For all of us

So I hope it don't happen to you.
