What's Left Of Me Lyrics

by Bon Jovi

For thirty hard years I was a newspaperman
I made my living with a pen and a pad
God I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e106831-bon_jovi~whats_left_of_me_lyrics.html ]
Been back from the desert for a year or so
I left more in that sand then you'll ever know
Another war was waiting for me when I got back home

In the name of the flags one 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
Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me,
Hey hey, 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 they come from Japan

I sold my drums to make ends meet
The band broke up, we had to eat
It's the same old sh*t, 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
Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets
But 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 a 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
