I can remember the places I stayed Things that I did, the ways I behaved The women I loved, the words that I said Like a dream pa**ing through Causes I had, the corners I turned The friends that I left and the bridges I burned They were part of a place, a rhythm of life That no longer will do Hey man, what about you? Something has happened to me Has it happened to you? To my own heart, I've tried to be true Hey man, what about you? Winding my way through the turns and the bends I have been waiting for life to begin For something to do, something to hold That was bigger than I Whatever I did, it was never enough Wherever I stood, I was still out of touch Like a man in the dark Following sparks through an ebony sky Hey man, what about you? Something has happened to me Has it happened to you? To my own heart, I've tried to be true Hey man, what about you? Well, like it or not, I have come to this place The past in my heart, the wind in my face And a son who was born on the eve of a war Of a reckless design With my knees to the earth and my ear to the ground What I thought was the truth was only a sound Of a shot in the wind, the beginning, my friend Of these desperate times Hey man, what about you? Something has happened to me Has it happened to you? And to my own heart, I have tried to be true Hey man, hey man, hey man, what about you? Hey man, hey man, hey man, what about you?
