Testo Down 'N' Outer - Nanci Griffith
Testo della canzone Down 'N' Outer (Nanci Griffith), tratta dall'album The Complete MCA Studio Recordings: Nanci Griffith
I once was a lot like you
We shared a dream I couldn't make come true
I was a child who wrote my name
Across a frosted windowpane
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 and 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
I'm 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
And now you've woe'd me down and out
If there's a way out I've not found her
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 and 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
I'm just a bank account away from America
I'm just a bank account away from America
