There But For Fortune - Live

Lyrics

Show me a prison, show me a jail
 Show me a prisoner whose face has gone pale
 And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why
 And there but for fortune, may go you or I
 Show me the alley, show me the train
 Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain
 And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why
 And there but for fortune, may go you or go I
 Show me the whiskey stains on the floor
 Show me the dunken man as he stumbles out the door
 And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why
 And there but for fortune, may go you or go I
 Show me the country where bombs had to fall
 Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall
 And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why
 And there but for fortune, may go you or I, or I
