I can remember the places I stayed
Things that I did, the ways I behaved
The women I loved, the words that I said
Like a dream passing through

Causes I had, the corners I turned
The friends that I left and the bridges I burned
They were part of a place, a rhythm of life
That no longer will do

Hey man, what about you?
Something has happened to me
Has it happened to you?
To my own heart, I've tried to be true
Hey man, what about you?

Winding my way through the turns and the bends
I have been waiting for life to begin
For something to do, something to hold
That was bigger than I

Whatever I did, it was never enough
Wherever I stood, I was still out of touch
Like a man in the dark
Following sparks through an ebony sky

Hey man, what about you?
Something has happened to me
Has it happened to you?
To my own heart, I've tried to be true
Hey man, what about you?

Well, like it or not, I have come to this place
The past in my heart, the wind in my face
And a son who was born on the eve of a war
Of a reckless design

With my knees to the earth and my ear to the ground
What I thought was the truth was only a sound
Of a shot in the wind, the beginning, my friend
Of these desperate times

Hey man, what about you?
Something has happened to me
Has it happened to you?
And to my own heart, I have tried to be true
Hey man, hey man, hey man, what about you?
Hey man, hey man, hey man, what about you?
