EMERSON DRIVE lyrics : "moments"

I was coming to the end of a long long walk
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
Under the E. Street Bridge

Followed me on to it
I went out halfway across
With that homeless shadow tagging along

So I dug for some change
Wouldn't need it anyway
He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed

He said, You know, I haven't always been this way

I've had my moments, days in the sun

Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like that plane ride coming home from the war

That summer my son was born
And memories like a coat so warm
A cold wind can't get through

Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments


I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
Wondering if a single soul on Earth
Would care at all

Miss me when I'm gone
That old man just kept hanging around
Lookin' at me, lookin' down

I think he recognized
That look in my eyes
Standing with him there I felt ashamed



I said, You know, I haven't always felt this way


I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none

Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like the day I walked away from the wine
For a woman who became my wife

And a love that, when it was right,
Could always see me through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it

But I've had my moments

I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight

That old man tells his story one more time
He says


I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do

Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
When a young man almost ended it
I was right there, wasn't scared a bit

And I helped to pull him through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it

But I've had my moments

I've had my moments

I've had my moments
I've had my moments
