See the lonely man Got his guitar in hand Strummin' crazy tunes On the corner of Pearl Street Crowd gathers round Singing sounds bitter...bittersweet Oh, on Pearl Street (Chorus) Lonely man they don't understand you See your voice isn't slicing through Is is the cloud above their heads Or their shackled hearts Or is it you? Lonely man, is it you? Lonely man, is it you? Lonely man, is it you? Lonely man, is it you? Once was a man Got no rock 'n roll band Just his two stumbling feet Playing lonely man With your smooth strummin' hand Take your music on out to the streets (Repeat Chorus)
