《Sidewalk Hobo》歌词

时长： 03:54

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]
