| 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 | |
