There But For Fortune

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Show me the prison, show me the jail Show me the prisoner whose face is growing pale And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why There but for fortune go you or go I You and I [Verse 2] Show me the alley, show me the train And show me the hobo who sleeps out in the rain And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why There but for fortune go you or go I You and I [Verse 3] And show me the whiskey, the stains on the floor And show me the drunkard as he stumbles out the door And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why There but for fortune go you or go I You and I [Verse 4] Show me the country whеre bombs had to fall Show me the ruins of buildings oncе so tall And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why There but for fortune go you or go I You and I
