Subject: ADD: No One Knows Me (Utah Phillips)
NO ONE KNOWS ME (Bruce "Utah" Phillips)
Last time I got a letter To a name I should have known Lord for all it matters It might've been my own No one knows me No one knows who I am No one knows me No no one gives a damn
Standing on a corner Ragged and low-down No place left to ramble So I'll just stand around No one knows me No one knows who I am No one knows me No one gives a damn
All down the dusty highway Is a dark and lonely place People always pass me by Throw gravel in my face No one knows me No one knows who I am No one knows me No no one gives a damn
Standing by the truck stop Well hear that diesel wail If you stop for coffee, boys I'll roll up on the tail No one knows me No one knows who I am No one knows me No no one gives a damn
It's handouts when I'm hungry Little water when I'm dry Jail when I'm hard up Freedom when I die No one knows me No one knows who I am No one knows me No no one gives a damn
Walking down the highway With a suitcase in my hand Rolling down the shoulder Leaving footprints in the sand No one knows me No one knows who I am No one knows me No one gives a damn
