A Man Without a Name Songtext
von Colin Hay

I know you′ve seen me standin' on the edges of your town
I can make you feel good if you′re sad or feelin' down
I am everywhere you care to look
And if you need me, I'm around

I can take you on a greyhound trip or fly a fancy plane
We could sit upon a mountaintop or listen to the rain
And I don′t fool myself but if you want me
I can stay or I can go

And I can′t answer or explain
How I got here or became
A man without a name

I could buy the latest Cadillac for people I don't know
But it′s not the same as I remember long ago
Now I'm standin′ in the wings of understandin'
I′m just waitin' for you to show


I still can't answer or explain
How I got here or became
A man without a name

I still can′t answer or explain
How I got here or became
A man without a name

Now I′m dancin' with my silhouette shadows of my past
My light was always shinin′ bright
But I knew it couldn't last
Now I′m stuck between the lines and the spaces
Time is standin' still

And I can′t answer or explain
How I got here or became
A man without a name
A man without a name
A man without a name
