Just an old tired vet walking on never seeing the sky

Moving on down the dusty streets of a no name city

Don’t just stare he’s not seeking any part of your pity

He’s just out searching for that one last drop of freedom

It’s been a long road to hell and back for him and his brothers

Life ain’t been easy being full of thoughts of unwanted shame

Oh he can’t undo the many wrongs and mistakes that are past

Just a lifetime spent trying to make sense of the visions they cast

Just a common man done in by all the memories he’s amassed

Just always wishing it could all be somehow undone for him at last

Unlike the oh so many who passed on along without him

Was it luck or chance that he was chosen to remain

Not much of a future when he can’t forget the past

A lonely life being spent with more downs than ups

Chilly nights and hot days never seem to change

The miles spent alone will never end so it all seems

Forever cursed he remains walking the streets of a no named city.
