Moments Lyrics - Countrified - Emerson Drive

(Annie Tate/Sam Tate/Dave Berg) 

I was coming to the end of a long, long walk 

When a man crawled out of a cardboard box 

Under the E. Street Bridge 

Followed me on to it 

I went out halfway across 

With that homeless shadow tagging along 

So I dug for some change 

Wouldn't need it anyway 

He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed 

He said, You know, I haven't always been this way

I've had my moments, days in the sun 

Moments I was second to none 

Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do 

Like that plane ride coming home from the war 

That summer my son was born 

And memories like a coat so warm 

A cold wind can't get through 

Lookin' at me now you might not know it 

But I've had my moments 

I stood there tryin' to find my nerve 

Wondering if a single soul on Earth 

Would care at all 

Miss me when I'm gone 

That old man just kept hanging around 

Lookin' at me, lookin' down 

I think he recognized 

That look in my eyes 

Standing with him there I felt ashamed 

I said, You know, I haven't always been this way 

Photos 

I've had my moments, days in the sun 

Moments I was second to none 

Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do 

Like the day I walked away from the wine 

For a woman who became my wife 

And a love that, when it was right, 

Could always see me through 

Lookin' at me now you might not know it 

But I've had my moments 

I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight 

That old man tells his story one more time 

He says 

I've had my moments, days in the sun 

Moments I was second to none 

Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do 

Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge 

When a young man almost ended it 

I was right there, wasn't scared a bit 

And I helped to pull him through 

Lookin' at me now you might not know it 

Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it 

But I've had my moments 

I've had my moments 

I've had my moments 

I've had my moments
