[Intro] (Slow, lonely acoustic guitar picking, the faint sound of windshield wipers and rain) [Verse 1] Ten years in, and the bottom of the bag was all we knew A Tuesday night, hiding from the rain in the drive-thru Two cheeseburgers felt like a prize we couldn't afford Then I saw him in the mirror... a ghost on the boulevard. [Pre-Chorus] Rags for shoes, shuffling through the neon light No destination, just losing a fight with the night The blue lights flashed, the owner called the law To clear the view of the hollow man we saw. [Chorus] I kicked off my shoes, stripped the shirt from my back "Give him the food, Tracy... give him everything we pack" But when he took the bundle, his eyes were stone cold The man was already gone, a story already told. [Bridge] No "thank you," no flicker, no soul left to save Just a shell of a human, walking toward a grave The police said they’d help, but the truth was in the glass I watched a disappearing man as we let the moment pass. [Guitar Solo] (A mournful, crying slide guitar solo) [Outro] Thirty years later, the rain still feels the same I’ve got better shoes now, but I still feel his pain It still breaks me down, salt hitting the floor I’m sorry the world didn’t see you anymore. (Fade out with the sound of rain)
