Song Lyrics

"Nightmare 49 part 1"

by Larry Norman
Album: Home At Last

I was playing guitar at 34th and M
When a man said, 'Are you him''
I said, 'Am I who'' He said, 'I don't know'
So ineluctably I gave him a scenario

I said jump back, jump back in time
Back to '68, I didn't have a dime
I was more poor than I'd ever been
And I was living like an orphan in the city of sin

Capitol Records, Hollywood and Vine
I was following God, I was feeling fine
I was preaching on the corner, singing in the streets
An ancient message with a modern beat

My hair was long, I might'a dressed like a bum
But my music made it clear where I was coming from
And where I'm going to when my life is done
Well, have you seen your brother, baby
Standing in the Son, in the Son
