Lyrics
I was comin' to the end of a long, long walk
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
Under the E Street Bridge, followed me onto it
I went out halfway across
With that homeless shadow taggin' along
So I dug for some change
I 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 comin' 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
Wonderin' if a single soul on Earth
Would care at all, miss me when I'm gone
That old man just kept hangin' around
Lookin' at me, lookin' down
I think he recognized that look in my eyes
Standin' with him there, I felt ashamed
I 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 day I walked away from the wine
For the 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 trash can 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
