Nightmare

I was playing guitar at 34th and M

When a man said, are you him?

I said, am I who? He said, I don't know.

So ineluctably I gave him a scenario.

I said jump back, jump back in time

Back to '68, I didn't have a dime

I was more poor than I'd ever been

And I was living like an orphan in the city of sin.

Capitol Records, Hollywood and Vine

I was following God, I was feeling fine

I was preaching on the corner, singing on the streets,

An ancient message with a modern beat.

My hair was long, I might'a dressed like a bum

But my music made it clear where I was coming from

And where I'm going to when my life is done.

Well, have you seen your brother, baby,

Standing in the Son, in the Son
