Lyrics

Give Me The Streets

Verse 1

I see him every morning standing on the corner
Holding the sign of the day
Sometimes he's hungry, or just got in town
Sometimes a victim of the fray

So one day I asked him as I gave him a dollar
How can you live this way.
Well he turned to me briskly and uttered quiet quickly
With a serious look on his face.

Chorus

Give me the streets, thinking on my feet
Making ends meet by the skin of my teeth
I can't say I ain't and I can't say I am
But I need a few dollars cause I'm on the lamb

And I'll be somebody else, somebody else tomorrow.
I'm somebody else tomorrow

Bridge

Well he could be a vet down on his luck
Or he could be a train wreck running a muck
Sometimes he's limping to color that spiel
And your always wondering …………is he for real

Verse

Well, I asked him again as he happened that way
How can you do this day after day.
Well he turned to me briskly and answered quiet quickly
With a serious look on his face.

Chorus
