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
I 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, 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
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
