VERSE 1
A wise man once said
There's only one in a thousand
Who would wanna be your friend
999 - always depend on something
VERSE 2
I wonder if it's gonna be worth my time
Lookin' for somebody to be by my side
999 are just for show
How am I supposed to know
CHORUS
I don't mind - where you come from
I don't care - where you been
I don't mind - where you're goin'
But on the way, boy, gimme some feelin'
VERSE 3
Too many people scratching only the surface
They will wanna be your friend
Buying and selling out, you to them are just another purchase
VERSE 4
There?s gotta be somebody that we can find
Who will stand up ? who won?t run and hide
999 I?ve seen ?em go
After the fun - they don?t wanna know
CHORUS
I don't mind - where you come from?
Middle-8
Give me a poor honest man any day
Or the one thousandth average girl
To some we are only dust in the wind
But to each other, salt-of-the-earth
(Give me - give me a man
Give me - an honest man
Only - dust in the wind
Give me - salt of the earth)
