If you ever see me sitting on this side walk, just drive by.
But why would you stop you’d never recognise this sad old guy.
Last time you saw me I was handsome and young.
Always carried that old guitar that I would strum.
I left my home town an my girl,
I was going places in this world.
Played St. Anton to Arkansas where everyone agreed anew star was born.
Hit record followed after hit, had lots of friends an lorded it, oh what a ball.
I was reckless I was brash so many girls an too much cash.
Those parties started getting so wild.
never thought it would end,
And then so sudden so swift,
Did I ever really have, what they all said was a gift.

GUITAR

2nd VERSE

Don’t want you to see me in the state I’m in.
You see these clothes are far too big, I ain’t too thin.
I know I acted like some big shot,
Never realised just what I got.
So if you ever see me sitting on this side walk, just drive by,
But why would you stop you’d never recognise this sad old guy.
Fame an fortune is a drug,
I’ll beat the power of love,
You’re needing more an then more,
But you’ll never have enough.
An then you lose all you have,
Yeah it’ll kill yer if yer just didn’t laugh
One day you’ve got everything then in the blink of an eye,
Your world caves in. Yeah

REPEAT 2nd VERSE

Yeah In the blink of an eye, so just drive by.
Don’t look back, I’ll be fine, Just drive by
Yeah you were always on my mind, just drive by
Don’t stop your make us both cry, cause you were the 
love of my life
