Down 'N' Outer |
I once was a lot like you |
We share a dream I couldn’t make come true |
I was a child who wrote my name |
Across a frosted window pane |
And there are jobs that I might hold |
If they’d just let me through the door |
Without a shower and new clothes |
That I can ill afford |
Can you spare the time? |
Can you spare a dime? |
Can you look me in the eye? |
I’m down 'n' out |
And I am lonely |
Do you ever think of me on |
Sunday? |
No. I don’t live |
Across the water |
Hey, I live right here |
On this corner |
…just a bank account away from |
America |
I won’t hurt your family |
I don’t want a house there on your street |
And I know you think that I’m… |
As lazy as a hobo’s sigh |
Now, you call me down 'n' outer |
If there’s a way out… |
I’ve not found 'er |
I only want to earn my piece of America |
Can you spare the time? |
Can you spare a dime? |
Can you look me in the eye? |
I’m down 'n' out |
And I am lonely |
Do you ever think of me on |
Sunday? |
No. I don’t live |
Across the water |
Hey, I live right here |
On this corner |
…just a bank account away from |
America |
I’m just a bank account away from |
America |
