Drunk as a bum
Hitching down the road
On my long way home
The night is growing old
The mist is drawing closer
Feels just like a dream
If you cut me will I bleed and
If you hurt me will I scream
A car pa** me by
With the brakelight lit
I lean into the window
Asking can I get a lift
A bearded old man
With a deep blue kimono
Smiled a toothless smile and said
Where you wanna go?
I'm tired as a dead man
I need to rest these weary bones
You ask me where I'm going
But man I don't really know
He laughed and said get in son
We're heading the same way
I know that weary feeling
And I know why you can't stay
I was just a young boy
Just turned seventeen
Got kicked out by my old man
Just because I dared to dream
I've met my share of liars
They said they had the key
To my lifes greatest questions
But man nothing is for free
So when you ask me
Where I'm going I don't know
No one to remember me
Or miss me when I'm gone
'Cause I am Mr. Noman
I am Mr. Noman
I envy those who found their way
I know it isn't true
Life is not a fairytale
For those like me and you
Born without a silverspoon
Time is all we get
Yesterday has been and gone
Forgive and forget
So when you ask me
Where I'm going I don't know
No one to remember me
Or miss me when I'm gone
'Cause I am Mr. Noman
