I don`t remember how I felt
I never thought I`d live
To read about myself
In my hometown paper
How my brave young life
Was forever changed
In a misty cloud of pink vapor

Darlin` give me your kiss
Only understand
I am the nothing man

Around here everybody acts the same
Around here everybody acts like nothing`s changed
Friday night club meets at Al`s Barbecue
The sky is still the same unbelievable blue

Darlin` give me your kiss
Come and take my hand
I am the nothing man

You can call me Joe
Buy me a drink and shake my hand
You want courage
I`ll show you courage you can understand
Pearl and silver
Restin` on my night table
It`s just me Lord, pray I`m able

Darlin` with this kiss
Say you understand
I am the nothing man
I am the nothing man
