Lyrics

(I'm) Hangin' out with the street people
They got it down
Hangin' out with the street people
Driftin' from town to town
I got a job in a nursery
But they just didn't like what I'd grow
They called the man and he ran me off
He said, "Now don't come back no more"
(I'm) Hangin' out with the street people
They got it down
Hangin' out with the street people
Driftin' from town to town
Who's gonna work, make the economy grow
If we all hang out in the street
Well I don't know and I don't care
Just as long as it ain't me
(I'm) Hangin' out with the street people
They got it down
Hangin' out with the street people
Driftin' from town to town
Wouldn't trade places with no one I know
I'm happy where I'm at
Some people would rather work
We need people like that
Wouldn't trade places with no one I know
I'm happy where I'm at
Some people would rather work
We need people like that
I'm glad I'm a street people
Have it no other way
And I'm gonna stay a street people
Until my dyin' day
Just hangin' out, got nothin' else to do
Hey, got any spare change, buddy?
Say you need a little somethin', you know
I got me a little friend
My old lady gonna have a baby
Guess there must be somewhere else
I'm gonna be hangin' out until
I find somethin'
