When I was ten, first of class The future was bright and the stars aligned Or so they said I cashed their dreams like they were mine Hoped I wouldn't disappoint And that I'd never let them down Now I'm this bum Singing songs of shattered hearts Poor and lonesome I guess I had it coming Pour me some rum I'll show you all The broken pieces of Myself in a box When I was twenty, got this good job Just like any good kid should And I got lost Thought I'd better climb the ladder Sure that something was up there Some answer to it all Now I'm this bum Singing songs of shattered hearts Poor and lonesome I guess I had it coming Pour me some rum I'll show you all The broken pieces of Myself in a box Still haven't found the answer But I think I know where it hides In this venue Singing with you Singing with you
