I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight
I've had my moments, days in the sun
I went out halfway across
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do”
So I dug for some change, wouldn't need it anyway
When a young man almost ended it
Like the day I walked away from the wine
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
“Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
“Lookin' at me now you might not know it
Lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments
He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed
Moments I was second to none
I've had my moments, days in the sun
Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments
Standing with him there I felt ashamed
Lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments
Moments, I was second to none
Lookin' at me, lookin' down
For a woman who became my wife
Under the E. Street Bridge, followed me on to it
Like that plane ride, coming home from the war
Well, I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
I was right there, wasn't scared a bit and I helped to pull him through”
And memories like a coat so warm, a cold wind can't get through
Wondering if a single soul on Earth
That summer my son was born
“I've had my moments, days in the sun
I think he recognized that look in my eyes
Would care at all, miss me when I'm gone
That old man just kept hanging around
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
I said, “You know, I haven't always been this way”
He said, “You know, I haven't always been this way”
Moments, I was second to none
And a love that, when it was right could always see me through
With that homeless shadow tagging along
That old man tells his story one more time, he says
