lyrics

Homeless
Words and Music by Lamb & Watson

I asked a preacher to loan me a buck
He told me mister you're out of luck
Just keep on walkin' on down the tracks
keep on goin' and don't come back

The cop on the corner said take a hike
We don't want you here so hit the pike
Just pick up all of your stuff and sail
Unless you want me to throw you in jail

Ain't got no place to call my home

Had a factory job when I was young
Drank too much booze, had too much fun
Was late for work and always tired
Boss man said that's it, you're fired

I lived on the south side under a bridge
In a cardboard box that held a fridge
I was livin' down there with the river rats
Kids came by, smashed it in with bats

Ain't got no place to call my home

It's tough on the streets I take care of myself
Ain't nothin' wrong with my mental health
A warm jacket and a bottle of wine
Is all I need and I'll be fine

A girl from the mission, she brought me a meal
She looked so pretty and I say what I feel
She jammed the food right back in the sack
Called me a bum and took it back

Ain't got no place to call my home
No, I ain’t got no place
Ain't got no place to call my home

All I do is wander and roam

Just hope I find a place to lie

Lay down and die
