I met a blind man the other day As I crossed the street in my hometown He came up to me His eyes all glazed over His hair slicked back behind his ears And he said to me "Son," "Son, it's a dangerous world out there" And "Don't worry, but if you're not careful you'll hurt yourself" I said, "Alright sir, I'll do my best, thank you very much." And I carried on crossing And when I finally reached the other side I went into 7-Eleven I got today's New York Times and a single cigarette I also asked them to do me an omelette But they ran out of eggs So I bought my things and left the store With my paper Lit a cigarette Flipped to the back pages of the paper to read the sports news Not much to read So I got to the curb and got out my keys The RV was just on the other side I began to cross I pushed the button to unlock it And as I reached for the door A great big fuckoff truck went straight through me
