Here I Am

I been up, I been down

I been lost, hoped, ‘I won’t be found’

Wandered west – Californ-I-A

Stopped off in New Orleans and Austin on the way

Singing songs

Songs I wrote for you

Telling strangers on the streets

About the things you put me through

Well here I am

Backs against the wall

Won’t you listen to my pride before the fall?

I been low, I been high

I been drunk now seven days gone by

I been east, I been north

I’ve walked the line just a dancing back and forth

And I’ve seen cold, and I’ve seen the fire

Here I am, just a black bird on a wire

Singing songs

Songs I wrote for you

Telling strangers in the bars

About the places I been to

Well here I am

Backs against the wall

Won’t you listen to my pride before the fall?
