Homelessness from the point of view of a homeless man. Some incredible harmonica playing.

Lyrics

Hangin' On

Snow's on the ground
Can't feel my feet
Lookin' through the trash
For somethin' to eat
Folks walkin' fast
They pass me by
I'm a big eyesore
That and nothin' more
Hey - I ain't gentrified
But....

Chorus: I keep hangin' on
Hangin' on
Yeah I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on
Oh I keep hangin' on
Hangin' on
Yeah I'm hangin' on

Guy down the block
Tips hooch from a bag
He's talkin' crazy
'Bout Afghanistan
He shouts get down
We need (some) backup here
He hands me his shine
It tastes like turpentine
Man - that stuff is fierce
But....

Chorus

Ain't got no job
But I got no bills to pay
Some say I'm crazy
But I ain't locked away
Some day I'll make it outta here
Have everything I need
But till I dig up some scratch
I got no trains to catch
Outta here is just another street
So...

Chorus
