My Home Is In The Street |
No sir, I’m not homeless, my home is in the street |
I’m not some lonely person down there begging round your feet |
Somehow we stay warm and cozy huddled in the wind |
No sir, I’m not homeless, we just need a house to put it in |
You see daddy lost his good job last November |
And we were way behind on rent by then |
Mom and dad said, «Baby, always hold your head up high |
Yeah, and always keep your backside to the wind» |
No sir, I’m not homeless, my home is in the street |
I’m not some lonely person down there begging round your feet |
Somehow we stay warm and cozy huddled in the wind |
No sir, I’m not homeless, we just need a house to put it in |
At first they looked just like another family down on their luck |
Searching for shelter in a storm |
But it was then I noticed something different |
I think more in attitude than in appearance |
And though it was rather cold that morning |
As I stepped closer to their circle it seemed to radiate warmth |
And in this little girls eyes were a light |
And as I asked her about being homeless |
She proudly raised her head and said it right |
No sir, I’m not homeless, my home is in the street |
We’re not some lonely people down here begging round your feet |
Somehow we stay warm and cozy huddled in the wind |
No sir, I’m not homeless, we just need a house to put it in |
