Came to the city to chase my dream
Created for myself a big old smokescreen
Hung around lots of well-known dudes
Whose mothers put me up and gave me food
Oh and there is nothing wrong with that
No there ain’t nothing wrong with that
I soon moved on and got well known
People were amazed at the wind I was blowin’
All them critics they thought I was great
But I had known that ever since I was eight
Oh and I knew my time would come soon
I knew my time would come soon
Times were a changin’ and I was the leader
So I played along to the dance of the seeder
I gave out a lot more than I thought I could
I didn’t eat or sleep like I knew that I should
Oh and I became a bitter fruit of a man
I became a bitter fruit of a man
When god had decided that I had enough
Along came my wife to make it less tough
They still screamed for their old folk hero
Not figuring out that I owed them zero
Oh and at last I found a little calm
At last, I found a little bit of calm
I crashed down to earth with a bump on my head
I had a long time to think while lying in bed
So I got back up and played some new songs
I never had the power to stop folks doing wrong
Oh and I knew I gave it my best shot
I knew I had given my best shot
I am older now with a vast experience of life
I’ve had my share of heartache and strife
But it has all been worth it, I think I done good
So I’ll leave as I came, alone in the nude
Oh and I still don’t know what it all means
I still don’t know what it all means
Cheers!
