[Verse 1] 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 Wouldnt need it anyway He took it lookin just a bit ashamed He said, You know, I havent always been this way [Chorus] Ive had my moments, days in the sun Moments I was second to none Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldnt 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 cant get through Lookin at me now you might not know it But Ive had my moments [Verse 2] I stood there tryin to find my nerve Wondering if a single soul on Earth Would care at all Miss me when Im 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 havent always been this way [Chorus] Ive had my moments, days in the sun Moments I was second to none Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldnt 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 cant get through Lookin at me now you might not know it But Ive had my moments [Bridge] I know somewhere round a trashcan fire tonight That old man tells his story one more time He says [Chorus] Ive had my moments, days in the sun Moments I was second to none Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldnt do Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge When a young man almost ended it I was right there, wasnt 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 Ive had my moments [Outro] Ive had my moments Ive had my moments Ive had my moments
