Lyrics

HOMELESS MAN

I'm a homeless man,and I live out on the street
People toss me a dollar,so I can get a bite to eat
I sleep in the bus shelter,just to try and find some heat

You have seen me on the corner,in my favourite part of town
My clothes are soiled and dirty,from sleeping on the ground
You cross over to avoid me,whatever street you're walking down

One time an angel gave me ,a brand new $50 bill
Some punks they stole my money,and they beat me all to hell
I tried to tell a policeman, and they threw me in a cell

I used to have my own room, with a T.V. and a bed
Till I lost all my employment,for being drunk at ten A.M.
If I had another chance now, I just might do the same again

But I aint never hurt nobody,thatis except myself sometimes
My brains a little foggy,from all the years of too much wine
Won't you please give me a handout,so I can ease this pain inside
