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

I a misty cloud of pink vapor



Darlin' give me your kiss

Only understand

I am, the nothing man



Around here, everybody acts the same

Around here, everybody acts like nothing's changed

Friday night, the club meets at Al's Barbecue

The sky's 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
