Moments

I was coming to the end of a long, long walk
 When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
 Under the E. Street Bridge
 Followed me on to it
 I went out halfway across
 With that homeless shadow tagging along
 So, I dug for some change
 Wouldn't need it anyway
 He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed
 He said, "You know, I haven't always been this way"
 I've had my moments, days in the sun
 Moments, I was second to none
 Moments, when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
 Like that plane ride, coming home from the war
 That Summer, my son was born
 And memories like a coat, so warm
 A cold wind can't get through
 Lookin' at me now, you might not know it
 But I've had my moments
 I stood there, tryin' to find my nerve
 Wondered if a single soul on Earth
 Would care at all
 Miss me when I'm gone
 That old man just kept hanging around
 Lookin' at me, lookin' down
 I think he recognized
 That look in my eyes
 Standing with him there, I felt ashamed
 I said, "You know, I haven't always been this way"
 I've had my moments, days in the sun
 Moments, I was second to none
 Moments, when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
 Like the day I walked away from the wine
 For a woman who became my wife
 And a love that, when it was right
 Could always see me through
 Lookin' at me now, you might not know it
 But I've had my moments
 I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight
 That old man tells his story one more time
 He says
 I've had my moments, days in the sun
 Moments, I was second to none
 Moments, when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
 Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
 When a young man almost ended it
 I was right there, wasn't scared a bit
 And I helped to pull him through
 Lookin' at me now, you might not know it
 Oh, lookin' at me now, you might not know it
 But I've had my moments
