Picture moving to a place
Where you are unknown
No smiling faces
All like cold stone...
You stand on a corner
People start moving away
They treat you like you've the pleage
Like a dog, a rabid stray...
Brother can you spare a quarter
Sister can you spare a dime
Cousin I wanna catch the bus
When it comes??? Do you know the time???
Hey, I'm a stranger here
Can you tell me where I can eat???
You know, real food to sustain me
Not cake, donuts, cupcakes, or candy sweet...
I have no place dry place to stay
Tell me where can I pitch my tent
I spent my last dollar on a shipping blanket
Now I've nought, not even a red cent...
Yes, I get military disability, and a pension
Enough to get a place twice a week
A quiet motel outside of the city
A motel a pretty lady, who makes ones knees weak...
In time I'll find a place not to large
Less space, less room to clutter (collect)
It would be a place easy to keep clean
Not one that would be so easy to neglect...
When my time comes to leave this earth
I will leave this earth alone
No one to weep over my body
That's covered by a slab of stone...
