Song | Down 'N' Outer |
Artist | Nanci Griffith |
Album | Late Night Grande Hotel |
作词 : Griffith | |
I once was a lot like you | |
We share a dream I couldn't make come true | |
I was a child who wrote my name | |
across a frosted window pane | |
And there are jobs that I might hold | |
if they'd just let me through the door | |
without a shower and new clothes | |
that I can ill afford | |
Can you spare the time? | |
Can you spare a dime? | |
Can you look me in the eye? | |
I'm down 'n' out | |
and I am lonely | |
Do you ever think of me on | |
Sunday? | |
No. I don't live | |
across the water | |
Hey, I live right here | |
on this corner | |
...just a bank account away from | |
America | |
I won't hurt your family | |
I don't want a house there on your street | |
And I know you think that I'm... | |
as lazy as a hobo's sigh | |
Now, you call me down 'n' outer | |
if there's a way out... | |
I've not found 'er | |
I only want to earn my piece of America | |
Can you spare the time? | |
Can you spare a dime? | |
Can you look me in the eye? | |
I'm down 'n' out | |
and I am lonely | |
Do you ever think of me on | |
Sunday? | |
No. I don't live | |
across the water | |
Hey, I live right here | |
on this corner | |
...just a bank account away from | |
America | |
I'm just a bank account away from | |
America |
