I went to the VA in LA
on a whim and a prayer.
They weren't expecting me.
I had no family,
no friends,
nobody there.
I showed up at a bus station
with $40 in my pocket and just
wanted to get my life right.
Could've either went ahead
and been homeless on skid row
'cause that's where the bus station was
and I would have been fine with
being homeless on skid row.
I'd been homeless for awhile
and something told me I
needed to get to the VA.
And of all things that happened to me,
I got into a program
at 10 o'clock at night
on a Friday night.
Into a program,
not into a psych ward or detox,
I got into a program
on a Friday night at 10
o'clock at night at the VA.
That don't happen.
Somebody was watching out for me
and knew that I needed help.
