lyrics

What a life,
Panhandling,

What a life.


It's not as attractive to me 

As it was when I was young.

Ninety degrees in the heat and a small piece of cardboard

Sprinkled with change as the people walk b
y

Baby in your carriage 
Is sleeping in the morning


Warm bottle in your bag for him.

Warm bottle in your bag for him.


Plaza full of buses,

Shopping cart full of metal

Mixed with the people who do 
Business every day.

Rolling papers

And a cell phone not charged.

Your cloths might have been given to you.


With little or nothing to do.

There is safety in numbers,

When you're hung out to dry.

We have families, we have cites,

We have states, and we have countries.


We have oceans full of water, lands far away

We have two billion people, all want just one thing


Some place to go when it starts to rain

Some place to go when it starts to rain


I have some I love and some who love me, 

I have time to sleep and time to play, 

I have work to keep the demons away 

Some times I see the storm coming 

And just can't get away 

Can't find my shelter, and I’m caught in the rain, 

Waiting, watching what I would call insane.


Money can't buy you happiness

But it can buy you a haircut 


What a life,

Panhandling

What a life that has been given to me

The process fills so many voids.It is the conversation with myself that I find so necessary. The loners log in a way. ... more
