Nothing Man

Bruce Springsteen

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
In a misty cloud
Of pink vapor
Darlin' give me your kiss
Only understand
I am, the nothing man


Friday night
The club meets at Al's Barbecue
The sky is 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
