There But For lyrics

Artist  : Ochs Phil 
Song : There But For



 Send "There But For" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Joan Baez
Show me a prison, show me a jail
Show me a prisoner whose face is growing pale
And I'll show you a young man with many reasons
why
And there but for fortune
May go
you or I
Show me an alley, show me a
train
Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the
rain
And I'll show you a young man with many
reasons why
And there but for fortune
May go you or I
Show me the whiskey stains
on the floor
Show me a drunken man as he
stumbles out the door
And I'll show you a
young man with many reasons why
And there
but for fortune
May go you or I
Show me
the country where the bombs 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
And there but for fortune
May go you or I -- or I
