One of my favorite Trout songs, the lyrics don’t seem to be online so I’ve written it out myself. But one part of one line in the third verse escapes me. It’s the string of "?"s below. Any help appreciated. (I’m including the entire song in case someone would like to have it).
He lost himself in Viet Nam, just a young boy at war.
Then one day he told Uncle Sam, he wasn’t fighin’ no more.
He did some time in prison, now he’s livin’ all alone.
Movin’ town to town, just tryin’ to find a home.
He’s seen his childhood dreams, slowly fade away,
He’s just a child of another day.
Child of another day.
I met a pretty dancer, she wore a Jimi Hendrix shirt.
Her eyes advertised all the ways that she’d been hurt.
She told me she had three kids and they were her joy in life.
Then she cried when she told me she used to be somebody’s wife.
But her children have all grown up and moved away,
She’s just a child of another day.
Child of another day.
Teddy was a veteran, he served his country well.
He’s seen it all, and he had stories he could tell.
But his country had forgotten and he was livin’ on the street.
Where he ???, bummin’ food to eat.
But as he held out his hand, all the people turned and walked away,
He’s just a child of another day.
Child of another day.
Here comes a guy I met a million times before.
He tells me to slow it down, he says remember less is more.
He doesn’t understand it, it don’t sound like it should.
It don’t fit his preconceptions, so it can’t be any good.
But I just ignore him, I don’t care what he say,
‘Cause he’s a child of another day.
He’s a child of another day.
But I just ignore him, I don’t care what he say,
he’s just a child of another day.
Child of another day.
