Was The One

Once i was a rich man
Once i was so poor
Once i was the one
You were looking for

Once i was a waitress
At that diner in Tucson
Once i was the one
Who went on and and on
And on and on and on

Once i was driver
I never fell asleep
Driving trucks in Brooklyn
The river looked so deep

Once i was a cashier
At the local cinema
I took the tickets
And i dreamed of Shangri La
Lalalalalala

Back behind the diner
In the blurry heat
Once i was stranded
I couldn't feel my feet

Once i took your sadness
Way way far away
All the way to jackson
For a light year and a day
