|
have you seen the old men |
|
that lean on the walls |
|
of salvation halls |
|
in the streets of your town |
|
you can't have missed |
|
the vagrant |
|
he is the rubble |
|
he is the trouble you want to remove |
|
in the parks about sundown |
|
he makes his bed |
|
his shoes are a pillow for his head |
|
have you seen the young men |
|
that look so old |
|
they'd rather have the cold dark lonely road |
|
have you ever wondered |
|
why do they go |
|
leaving the tv and the automo |
|
you can see them hailing trucks down the open road |
|
you wave your thumb and you hop on board |
|
you ain't got no keeper you don't need a friend |
|
I betcha wish you were the same |
|
yeah I betcha wish you were the same |
|
have you seen the old men |
|
we lean on the walls |
|
of salvation halls |
|
in the streets of your town |
|
we're just a little shady |
|
we get a little crazy |
|
in the streets of your town |
|
in the parks about sundown |
|
we lay our heads |
|
our shoes are our pillow |
|
the grass our bed |
|
don't need no keeper |
|
and don't need no friend |
|
I betcha wish you were the same |
|
yeah I betcha wish you were the same |
