There But for Fortune lyrics

[Verse 1]
Show me a prison, show me a jail
Show me a prisoner whose face is growing pale
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
And there but for fortune may go you or I

[Verse 2]
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 so many reasons why
And there but for fortune may go you or I

[Verse 3]
Show me the whiskey stains on the floor
Show me the drunken man as he stumbles out the door
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
And there but for fortune may go you or go I

[Verse 4]
Show me the country where the bombs had to fall
Show me thе ruins of buildings once so tall
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
And therе but for fortune may go you or go I
