The Unidentified Man - Jim Morris

Written by:Jim Morris

Lightning cracks the western sky a storm is fast approaching

The surf churns white with rollers crashing on the shore

A noise above the rumble and a seaplane makes a landing

Every night's a big adventure it's just a job and nothing more

He's had a hundred thousand beers or more to forget some girl named Alice

And a thousand sleepless nights reliving the horrors of the war

A scheme to make a fortune got him thrown out of Jamaica

Spent last night with a stranger woke up naked on the floor

You might see him for a moment in the darkness where he stands

A figure hiding just a shadow leaving footprints in the sand

A face forgotten when he disappears

The unidentified man

He's had it with the girls who don't meet you at the station

And the partners who befriend you then take the goods and run

Dogs who jump their fences and those whores who can't be trusted

Every tragic ending is a story just begun

You might see him for a moment in the darkness where he stands

A figure hiding just a shadow leaving footprints in the sand

A face forgotten he disappears

The unidentified man

Some day he'll be the body washed ashore in Puerto Rico

Or the man found in the wreckage of the plane that crashed and burned

In a bar in north Miami his buddies will toast their fallen comrade

Savoring their whiskey and just waiting for their turn

He's had a hundred thousand beers or more to forget some girl named Alice

And a thousand sleepless nights with the horrors of the war

Survivors of this madness live like royalty down on South Beach

Every night's a big adventure it's just a job and nothing more
