Lyrics

[00:09.84] Show me a prison, show me a jail
[00:18.98] Show me a prisoner whose face has gone pale
[00:25.25] And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why
[00:35.35] And there but for fortune, may go you or I
[00:45.34] Show me an alley, show me a train
[00:53.63] Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain
[01:00.47] And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why
[01:10.62] And there but for fortune, may go you or I
[01:20.72] Show me the whiskey stains on the floor
[01:32.32] Show me a drunken man as he stumbles out the door
[01:39.12] And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why
[01:49.19] And there but for fortune, may go you or I
[01:58.66] Show me the country where the bombs had to fall
[02:07.47] Show me the ruins of the buildings once so tall
[02:14.04] And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why
[02:23.46] And there but for fortune, may go you or I
