There But For Fortune

Show me the prison
Show me the jail
Show me the prisoner
Whose knife has gone stale
And I'll show you a young man
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune go you or I
Show me the alley
Show me the train
Show me the hobo
Who sleeps out in the rain
And I'll show you a young man
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune go you or I
Show me the whiskey stains on the floor
Show me the drunkard
As he stumbles out the door
And I'll show you a young man
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune go you or I
Show me the country
Where the bums had to fall
Show me the ruins
Of the buildings, once so tall
And I'll show you a young land
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune go you and I
You and I
