| When I was ten, my old man split
|
| My mama just couldn’t deal with it
|
| So I jumped onto a railroad car
|
| And headed out west to be a rock star
|
| Well I got off in Hollywood
|
| And I’d get out baby if I could
|
| 'Coz times is tough and my luck is bad
|
| I ain’t got no money and it makes me mad
|
| So when you see me on the street
|
| Just remember my shoes could be on your feet
|
| And it’s home street home
|
| Well a buddy of mine went to Vietnam
|
| And his own guys hit him with a shot of Napalm
|
| Now he can’t really breathe that well
|
| And he can’t get a job, but what the hell
|
| His benefits ain’t never come through
|
| And I’m sure they were spent by you know who
|
| I’d like to laugh, that’d be a switch
|
| Life ain’t no joke, it’s a bitch
|
| So when you see me on the street
|
| Just remember my shoes could be on your feet
|
| And it’s home street home |
