Lyrics:

Yesterday I was a young man
With a future hemmed with gold
And today I'm just a soldier
With no home to call my own
Sittin' by myself
Playin' my guitar
Tryin' to pass the time away
If tomorrow's goin' to be like this
I might as well die today

I'm just a person
Who has never had a home
Had to fight all my life
Just to keep the things I own
And some people they look down at me
As a man without a name
And tend to forget
That they came from the same place that I came

All my friends they have forsaken me
I guess that's how life goes
When you're not in big demand
Then you can't buy fancy clothes
And life's backhand
One more time
Has closed the gates for me
And destroyed two years of hard work
And set my prestige free

I'm just a person
Who has never had a home
Had to fight all my life
Just to keep the things I own
And some people they look down at me
As a man without a name
They tend to forget
That they came from the same place that I came
Woo!

I'm just a person
Who has never had a home
Had to fight all my life
Just to keep the things I own
And some people they look down at me
As a man without a name
They tend to forget
That they came from the same place that I came
Yeah!

I'm just a person
Who has never had a home
I've had to fight all my life
Just to keep the things I own
Sittin' by myself
Playin' my guitar
Tryin' to pass the time away
If tomorrow's goin' to be like this
I might as well die today
