The Man on Main Street

[Verse 1]
I met him by the corner, on Main and 5th last June,
His coat was torn, his boots were worn, his eyes a faded tune.
I handed him a dollar, he shook his head and smiled,
Said, "Son, I ain't a beggar, just been lost a little while."

[Chorus]
Oh, the road ain't always kind,
It twists, it turns, it leaves you blind.
Some lose their way, some lose their fight,
But every soul deserves some light.
He's not just a shadow passing by,
He's the man on Main Street, asking why.

[Verse 2]
He told me 'bout his family, a wife and little boy,
Said, "We had a house, a dog, and days of simple joy.
But cancer came like thunder, it stole her from my arms,
And bills piled high till I lost the farm."

[Prechorus]
"Life ain't fair, and that's the truth,"
He said, staring at his broken boots.

[Chorus]
Oh, the road ain't always kind,
It twists, it turns, it leaves you blind.
Some lose their way, some lose their fight,
But every soul deserves some light.
He's not just a shadow passing by,
He's the man on Main Street, asking why.

[Bridge]
The world keeps spinning, it don't look back,
Leaves some behind on a one-way track.
But his voice was steady, his heart still strong,
He said, "I ain't bitter, I just move along."
