Just Like Me (Breen, Dixon, Breen)

JUST LIKE ME (Breen, Dixon, Breen)

I saw a family beside the road
a sign in the father’s hand
it said “we are hungry will work for food
help if you think you can’


I thought about stopping to help them out 
but suddenly I was afraid
so many excuses came to mind
I ended up driving away

and when I look in the mirror 
their faces are all I can see
their sad eyes turn away 
and I hear them saying to m

CHORUS
You never know what’s gonna happen
the future’s not ours to see
one day you’re rollin’ in the clover
the next day you look just like me


We step into our sheltered homes
silently keeping us safe
we feast at the table of plenty
quietly saying our grace

Deep in the night our children dream
of cowboys and little bo peep
how in god’s name does a homeless child
dream when he can’t even sleep


with the way things are going 
it’s people like you and me
who way up some morning
lookin’ at life on the street


CHORUS
Oh…You never know what’s gonna happen
the future’s not ours to see
one day you’re rollin’ in the clover
the next day you look just like me


You never know what’s gonna happen
the future’s not ours to see
one day you’re rollin’ in the clover
the next day you look just like me
