| Glinting gems in the concrete I paved
|
| One every couple of feet
|
| They got mixed up in the lyme and the sand
|
| Nobody noticed but me How could one little speck
|
| Make a difference to the rest
|
| Well it doesn’t, no one cared
|
| Except me I payed my debt to the hotel unknown
|
| I drove so far, out of funds
|
| They kept me up, a family untied
|
| I shared their wall and their secret
|
| I can tell you this much
|
| There is no love when bankrupt
|
| Just an empty gutted house
|
| And a grave
|
| I got this limp from a favor I did
|
| Some folks don’t like charity
|
| Copper pipe is worth more than you’d think
|
| There ain’t no point blaming me How could one little speck
|
| Make a difference to the rest
|
| Well it doesn’t, no one cared
|
| Except me How could one little speck
|
| Make a difference to the rest
|
| Well it doesn’t, no one cared
|
| How could one little speck
|
| Make a difference to the rest
|
| Well it doesn’t, never will
|
| Just like me |
