Nothing Man

I don't remember how I felt

I never thought I'd live

To read about myself in my hometown paper

How my brave young life was forever changed

In a misty cloud of pink vapor

Darlin', give me your kiss

Only understand

I am the nothing man

Around here, everybody acts the same

Around here, everybody acts like nothing's changed

Friday night club meets at Al's Barbecue

The sky is still the same unbelievable blue

Darlin', give me your kiss

Come and take my hand

I am the nothing man

You can call me Joe

Buy me a drink and shake my hand

You want courage?

I'll show you courage you can understand

The pearl and silver restin' on my night table

It's just me, Lord, I pray that I'm able

Darlin', with this kiss

Say you understand

I am the nothing man

I am the nothing man
