Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yesterday I was a young man With a future hemmed with gold And today I'm just a soldier With no home to call my own Sitting by myself, playing my guitar Trying to pass the time away If tomorrow's going to be like this I might as well die today [Chorus 1] I'm just a person Who has never had a home Had to fight all my life Just to keep the things I own And some people they look down at me As a man without a name And tend to forget That they came from the same place that I came [Verse 2] All my friends, they have forsaken me I guess that's how life goes When you're not in big demand Then you can't buy fancy clothes And life's backhand One more time has closed the gates for me And destroyed two years of hard work And set my prestige free [Chorus 1] I'm just a person Who has never had a home Had to fight all my life Just to keep the things I own And some people they look down at me As a man without a name And tend to forget That they came from the same place that I came [Instrumental] [Chorus 1] I'm just a person Who has never had a home Had to fight all my life Just to keep the things I own And some people they look down at me As a man without a name And tend to forget That they came from the same place that I came [Outro] I'm just a person who has never had a home I've had to fight all my life just to keep the things I own Sitting by myself, playing my guitar Trying to pass the time away If tomorrow's going to be like this I might as well die today
