From the recording Looking For That American Dream
Like a lot of musician friends I get frustrated missing out on things and have come to realise it’s very helpful having acquaintances in the music business who are able to open a few doors for you.
Lyrics
The Forgotten Man
So Many years I struck out
Thought I had something special but you chose to make me doubt
But I’ll be back stronger than before
The Forgotten Man no more
I Missed the Party I Missed the Ball
Checked for my name on that list
But I just couldn’t see it at all
Maybe next time I’ll get that call
The Forgotten Man no more
Chorus
All alone – washed out –that’s me
A Forgotten Man – No Future or History
And if all the world is one big stage
How come I’m in the audience waiting to be engaged
Repeat Chorus
