Lyrics
Homeless Jimmy
By J. D. Simmons Copyright 2007
I?m homeless and hungry
Just bidden my time
I?m on a street corner
Begging for dimes
As the Cars pull up
I hang my head low
Stare at the ground
Searching for my soul
Chorus
The next time you pass
A homeless man like me
Remember Ole Jimmy
Who lives out in the streets
Verse
Sir would you please
Help me if you can
I can use your spare change
Please lend a helping hand
I can?t find a job
They say I?m to slow
So I picking up the cans
On the side of the road
Bridge
Never pass Judgment
On a homeless man like me
Spend a night in my shoes
Trying to get some sleep
You?ll wake up the next morning
To an officer who?s rude
He?ll tell ya to move along
When all you want is food
Verse
I live in a box
Under a bridge
Wrapped up in a blanket
A cooler for a fridge
Sometimes I light a candle
Just like to watch them glow
They want keep you warm
When you?re sleeping in the snow
Repeat chorus
Verse
Wish there was someone
Who would listen to me
I?d tell them my life story
Like reality TV
Their ain?t any difference
Between you and me
God loves us both
He will treat us equally
Repeat Chorus ? End Song
