His mind is, lost in yesterday |
|
He's standing, beneath a street light in |
|
L.A. It doesn't matter, that |
|
I've lost everything |
|
I've done my best to give it all away |
|
I followed my |
|
American Dream |
|
To a life of depression and poverty |
|
A story that many of you don't know |
|
I went from an |
|
American kid to a bum on the street in your neighborhood. |
|
There are things about me that you don't know |
|
I came from, small town |
|
U.S.A. I've had my share, of failures along the way |
|
Although I know success is a measure in your mind |
|
You look at me now as |
|
I'm begging for a dime |
|
You feel you have the right to judge me |
|
I followed my |
|
American Dream |
|
To a life of depression and poverty |
|
A story that many of you don't know |
|
I went from an |
|
American kid to a bum on the street in your neighborhood |
|
There are things about me that you don't know |
|
This is my story don't you see this could be every man? |
|
All from some choices made not long ago |
|
This is my story don't you see this could be any man? |
|
Why we make choices no one else does |
|
I followed my |

American Dream |
