lyrics

A rich man's eye
A poor man's pocket
Time goes by
Like a bottle rocket
I don't even know what day it is (2x)

Some would say they'd seen it from the start
They'd seen where you were heading
They swore that it was beauty, that it was art
A true romance

Some say it was all a big mistake
The world just wasn't ready
You put out more than anyone could take
You shook it more than anyone could shake
All you needed then was just a break
And half a chance

Chorus

Some would say that this is for the birds
A stone that's not worth throwing
They've heard you sing the song without the words
That hide the tears

Some say this is now and that was then
And the wind is always blowing

You still think fame is just around the bend
The hometown hero makes it in the end
It's just enough to let yourself pretend
For all these years

Chorus

Some would say that this is all my fault
They'd say that I was willing
We seldom see the rocks that build the wall
A story's just a story after all
You're the one who's been there all along
To dry my tears
