Dr. Hook - I've Been Him lyrics

See that wino in the gutter I've been him See that wino in the gutter Well I've been him See that wino in the gutter Watch him stumble hear him stutter As he cries out for his mother Well I've been him See that soldier with his gun Well I've been him, I've been him See that soldier with his gun Well I've been him, I've been him See that soldier raise his gun Watch him k** and see him run And then forget the things he's done Well I've been him Hey I've been him, I've been him I've been him, and I've been you Tell me ain't you been there too See that brave man standing trial Well I've been him, I've been him See that coward run and hide Well I've been him, I've been him See that finger-pointing preacher See that never learning teacher Every crawling, crying creature Well I've been him I've been him, I've been him I've been him, and I've been you Tell me ain't you been there too See that little baby cry Well I've been him See that old man about to die Well I'll be him, someday I'll be him When I'm tall enough to stand So's I can reach and touch God's hand Then I believe I'll understand And I'll be him And when I'm tall enough to stand So's I can reach and touch God's hand Then I believe I'll understand And I'll be him I've been him I've been him
