A Man Whithout a Mission

I'm a man without a mission
And no direction
I go wherever the wind blows

Well, they wrecked my brain
With guns that sound like thunder
And now it's no wonder I've been livin' life this way

With my cardboard sign
I stand out on your street corner
You pass me by, and you don't even know my name
I spent half my life
Fighting for this country's freedoms
But since I lost my wife
I just can't seem to find my way

Well, I'm a man without a mission
With no direction
I go wherever the wind blows

If you could spare some change
Or share some compassion, maybe
Just sit and listen to some things that I have seen

I spent all my time tryin' to find a new direction
But I lost my mind
One bullet at a time
I used to stand up tall
And greet the world with my convictions
I used to lead those men
But now I'm sleepin' on the streets

With my cardboard sign
I stand out on your street corner
And you pass me by
But you don't even know my name
I spent half my life
Fighting for this country's freedoms
But the only break I seem to find is another man's dime
(I'm a man without a mission)
And a cardboard sign
(Just a man without a mission)

I spend all my time tryin' to find a new direction
But I lost my mind one bullet at a time
Now I'm a man without a mission
And no direction
I go wherever the wind blows
