Homeless Man - Blue Highway[00:00:00]
Written by:Wayne Taylo[00:00:01]
They called him Skeet his name was Bill[00:00:10]
Corporal William Howard Campbell[00:00:18]
They never knew and never will[00:00:22]
He did his time with the 101[00:00:26]
They took a simple country boy[00:00:34]
And taught him how to use a gun[00:00:39]
After four long years in service[00:00:43]
Two tours in Vietnam[00:00:47]
The country that he served so well[00:00:52]
Doesn't seem to give a damn[00:00:55]
That he's a homeless man[00:01:00]
He has a son lives in L.A[00:01:13]
He hasn't spoke to him in twenty years[00:01:22]
He just don't know what to say[00:01:26]
He had a loving wife she was his right hand[00:01:29]
Till the nightmares and the memories[00:01:38]
Became more that she could stand[00:01:42]
Now he has everything he owns[00:01:47]
In a worn-out shopping cart[00:01:51]
He's never begged for anything[00:01:56]
He just doesn't have the heart[00:01:59]
He's just a homeless man[00:02:04]
Now in this land of plenty[00:02:10]
Where so many have it all[00:02:13]
He sleeps in an alley half a block from city hall[00:02:18]
They found him there one cold November night[00:02:46]
Though he'd won so many battles[00:02:55]
This time he'd lost the fight[00:02:59]
No one seemed to care that he was gone[00:03:02]
They laid him in a pauper's grave[00:03:12]
With a tiny little stone[00:03:16]
As a young man and his mother[00:03:20]
Sat alone and cried[00:03:24]
Holding the Silver Star medallion[00:03:27]
Someone found there by his side[00:03:31]
He was a homeless man[00:03:37]
He was just a homeless man[00:03:45]
