Lyrics
Crossing to this side of town felt like any other day in June
Staring into shadows in the sunlit afternoon
Wondering how tomorrows become yesterdays too soon
He was sitting all alone Didn't look like he had a home
He had blisters on his fingers Rickenbacker in a case
Snap shot of a family he left without a trace
Said I'm going down to Nashville, gonna get back in the Race
He had the answers in his head
He had a blanket for bed
I smiled and said my time is up I will stop bye again
He thanked me for the JD without lifting up his head
And I knew I would remember him though I don't think much was said
Something bout hunger
Something bout pain
Something bout living alone again
Staring into shadows
Staring into shadows
