Something Special

I met a man in Nashville,
he said that he'd been throught the war,
said he knew he could trust me
by the harley davidson shirt that I wore;
and he asked for some change
and i said that i was broke to.
He said "Hey you might be broke now, friend
but this life it could never break you
cause you've got something special in your eyes."
It's hard to believe a drunk on the street
when he's talking his way to some change.
He didn't know, in spite all of my efforts
i'm always, i'm always, i'm stayin' the same;
cause i know all of the things that i did.
All the people i've hurt,
and the promises broken,
the times that i failed
and i ran off and hid.
I am nothing special, just another guy.
It's hard to ignore my father
when he's says i've got all this potential.
He said "Son I knew you before you could breathe,
and you're not mediocre or inconsequential.
yeah, you've got something special in your eyes.
