NOT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL
Lyrics not autobiographical, this is a public service song about homelessness.
Hey buddy, can you spare some change
For a friend in need
Hey brother, can you feel my pain
Good luck, goodbye, and Godspeed
I was once like you
Yeah it’s true
But now I’m poor
And no one sees me anymore
Hey sister, will you lend a hand
To help a good man up
I’m looking for a place to land
And there’s nothing in my cup
I was once like you
Yeah, it’s true
But now I’m poor
And no one sees me anymore
A few months ago I had a home
A family and good work
My clothes were clean my hair was combed
And my eyes I would avert
When I saw the beggar coming
When I heard the drummer drumming
When I saw what I might becoming
I was once like you
Yeah it’s true
And now I’m poor
And no one sees me anymore
Now I’m poor
And no one sees me anymore
