I was coming to the end of a long, long walk
|
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
|
Under the E. Street Bridge
|
Followed me on to it
|
I went out halfway across
|
With that homeless shadow tagging along
|
So I dug for some change
|
Wouldn't need it anyway
|
He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed
|
He said, "You know, I haven't always been this way"
|
|
I've had my moments, days in the sun
|
Moments I was second to none
|
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
|
Like that plane ride coming home from the war
|
That summer my son was born
|
And memories like a coat so warm
|
A cold wind can't get through
|
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
|
But I've had my moments
|
|
I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
|
Wondering if a single soul on Earth
|
Would care at all
|
Miss me when I'm gone
|
That old man just kept hanging around
|
Lookin' at me, lookin' down
|
I think he recognized
|
That look in my eyes
|
Standing with him there I felt ashamed
|
I said, You know, I haven't always been this way
|
|
I've had my moments, days in the sun
|
Moments I was second to none
|
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
|
Like the day I walked away from the wine
|
For a woman who became my wife
|
And a love that, when it was right,
|
Could always see me through
|
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
|
But I've had my moments
|
|
I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight
|
That old man tells his story one more time
|
He says
|
|
I've had my moments, days in the sun
|
Moments I was second to none
|
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
|
Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
|
When a young man almost ended it
|
I was right there, wasn't scared a bit
|
And I helped to pull him through
|
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
|
Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it
|
But I've had my moments
|
|
I've had my moments
|
I've had my moments
|
I've had my moments
|
