Show me the prison

Show me the jail

Show me the prisoner

Whose life has gone stale



[Chorus:]

And I'll show you the young man

With some many reasons why

There but for fortune

Go you or I



Show me the alley

Show me the train

Show me the hobo

Who sleeps out in the rain



[Chorus]



Show me the whiskey

Stains on the floor

Show me the drunkard

As he stumbles out the door



[Chorus]



Show me the country

Where the bombs had to fall

Show me the ruins

Of the buildings once so tall



I'll show you the young land

With some many reasons why

There but for fortune

Go you and I

You and I

You and I
