paroles de chanson And Then Some - Darryl Worley

I shook my head as he walked up thought he wanted a couple bucks
In his ragged clothes and hair down to his shoulders
But he said I bet, you aren't even thirty yet
You hang your head like your life is almost over
I said old man leave me alone, I just got laid off
Besides, when's the last time you even had a job

He said it was 68, as about your age in a chopper over Hanoi
He got shot down and even now I'm afraid to sleep at night
After five long years in a bamboo cage, the army calls you crazy
And take your wings away, I know where you're coming from
Been there and then some

I said, old man, I'll give you that I never had it quite that bad
But losing a job ain't all that there is to it
Three weeks ago my wife moved out
I just got home from being out of town
You don't know what that's like till you been through it
Can you imagine how it feels to hear she found someone
Then I asked him, whens the last time you lost a love

He said when that C-130 touched the earth on a runway out in Dover
Man I was coming home, had my medals on but she was no where in the crowd
When you're MIA two thousand days
She thinks you're dead and your best friend
Takes your place, I know where you're coming from
Been there and then some

That old man made me realize that you never give up hope
He got there in the nick of time with those stories that he told
And he saved my life, I was going to end it all that night

It's been three years that's why I'm here
I don't get paid I'm a volunteer
I'm living proof you can get your life together
So don't hang up the phone it ain't worth it son
Do us both a favor put down the gun
I know where you're coming from
Been there and then some
Been there and then some
