Sidewalk Hobo - Tony Joe White[00:00:00]
As footsteps echo softly to[00:00:19]
The early morning hours[00:00:22]
The slowness of his moves should be a warning[00:00:28]
But from the trash he digs[00:00:36]
He patchs socks and yesterdays flowers[00:00:38]
What a way to start a monday morning[00:00:44]
He might have been a carpenter[00:00:57]
At one time in his life[00:01:00]
And he built a lot of homes but never had one[00:01:06]
Or he could have been a poet[00:01:14]
Who had come upon some hard times[00:01:17]
And all that he had lived[00:01:23]
Was just his sad poems[00:01:25]
He could have been a singer[00:02:04]
With a lot of promise[00:02:07]
But cigarettes and whiskey[00:02:11]
Ruined his throat[00:02:13]
Now it was hard to remember[00:02:18]
Even a simple tune[00:02:22]
Or the words to songs[00:02:25]
That he had wrote[00:02:27]
Now take me back to Memphis[00:02:50]
I've got to do some thinking[00:02:52]
Cause I've been in this city way too long[00:02:59]
And it lays heavy on my mind[00:03:06]
When I see another man[00:03:09]
Having to make the sidewalks his home[00:03:14]
