Al Kooper A Possible Projection Of The Future lyrics

God helped Moses
So I know He won't let me down
I'm at the bottom of my ladder
And it weren't no easy way down

All the folks that used to be around me
You won't find 'em knockin' at my door
And you never know who your friends are
'Til they don't come round no more, Lord

My money ran out last evenin'
My woman, she ran out today
And no one gives a fuck what I'm singing
Which makes it even harder to say

I've worked almost all my lifetime
Makin' music as best I can
But you never know who your friends are
'Til they don't come round again


Now I'm just an old nothin'
With memories of fifty years
I started with 'The Blues Project'
Spent some time with 'Blood, Sweat and Tears'

My life was filled with music
My heart was drenched in sound
And if you go see an old movie
You might hear me in the background

These old eyes don't see too good no more
These days they say that I'm deaf
My hands are so soft and wrinkled
So let me play you all that I got left, oh Lord
