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
