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 (I am) Around here, everybody acts the same Around here, everybody acts like nothing's changed Friday night, the club meets at Al's Barbecue The sky's still the same unbelievable blue Darlin' give me your kiss Come and take my hand I am the nothing man (I am) 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, pray I'm able Darlin' with this kiss Say you understand I am the nothing man I am the nothing man
