Pittsburgh is where I come from
Born to two but raised by none
Grandpa left a treasure chest
Set me up for life I guess
And now I am a man
Throwing up the night in a garbage can
Who knew that I'd never take my fortune home
Burn the hand to build a bridge
Flew to France and blew a kiss and smoke rings
Bird flew in we built a nest
Now it's scrambled eggs for my breakfast
And then one sorry morn
Throwing in the torch from the other shore
Who knew that they'd never take their fortune home
Laying in a hospital
Somewhere down in Mexico
No one here to sit with me
No wife no friends no family
They say that Pittsburgh is in a freeze
Its icy claws they melt our love for me
Who knew that I'd finally take my fortune home
