BON JOVI - What's Left Of Me lyrics

rate me

For thirty hard years I was a newspaperman

Made my living with a pen and a pad

God, I missed the smell of paper and the ink on my hands

Been back from the desert for a year or so

I left more in that sand then you'll ever know

Another war's waiting for me when I got back home

In the name of the flags some gave their lives

I'm still living, yeah, Semper Fi

Well, that's my story, what else can I say?

Hey, hey

I got a lot to give, say, can't you see?

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Boarding up the house they left the keys

For growing on my city rolled up these streets

Well, I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Hey, hey

They called us Dirty Harry, we're a punk rock band

Why they sold those CBGB's I don't understand

All that's left now are the t-shirts and the call from Japan

I sold my drums to make ends meet

The band broke up, we had to eat

It's the same old shit, it just happens more these days,

Hey, hey

I got a lot to give, say, can't you see?

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Boarding up the house they left the keys

For growing on my city rolled up these streets

Well, I ain't checking out I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

I'm a teacher, I'm a farmer, I'm a union man

It's getting harder to make a living in this hard land

We ain't working in our factories, all those jobs went overseas

Hey, hey

Does anybody want, does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me?

I got a lot to give, say, can't you see?

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Does anybody want to buy or rent?

Take the chance or place a bet

I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Does anybody want, does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Does anybody want, does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me?
