Homless - J.J. Cale[00:00:00]
She said, "She had no money"[00:00:16]
But he was in doubt[00:00:18]
He told her "I used to be in too[00:00:20]
But now he was out[00:00:22]
Spare some small change lady[00:00:24]
And I'll be on my way"[00:00:27]
She looked into his eyes[00:00:32]
And deep in his soul[00:00:34]
I know she was wonderin'[00:00:36]
If he was in control[00:00:38]
She muttered to herself[00:00:40]
"Those beggars where do they all come from?[00:00:42]
He said, "I'm not a homeless man[00:00:47]
I'm a gypsy by trade[00:00:50]
And I'm travelin' this land[00:00:52]
I'm not a homeless man[00:00:58]
He moved through the streets[00:01:02]
With his headband low[00:01:03]
Never thinkin' he would ever see[00:01:05]
That woman again, you know[00:01:07]
Just sleepin' in the doorways[00:01:10]
And alleys like he always had[00:01:12]
The years rolled by[00:01:17]
And later on[00:01:20]
He spotted an old woman[00:01:21]
All tattered and worn[00:01:23]
Hard times had got her[00:01:25]
Her clothes were ragged and old[00:01:28]
She said "I'm not a homeless woman[00:01:33]
I'm a gypsy by trade[00:01:36]
And I'm travelin' this land[00:01:38]
I'm not a homeless woman[00:01:43]
Sometime in the daytime[00:01:47]
Sometimes at night[00:01:49]
You will see a couple walkin'[00:01:50]
They'll come into sight[00:01:53]
Pushin' their carts[00:01:55]
And holdin' hands[00:01:58]
If you ask to help[00:02:03]
They'll just run away[00:02:05]
Like little children out to play[00:02:06]
And if you ask[00:02:11]
"Who are you?[00:02:12]
They'll always say[00:02:14]
"I'm not a homeless man[00:02:19]
I'm a gypsy by trade[00:02:21]
And I'm travelin' this land"[00:02:23]
She's not a homeless woman[00:02:28]
I'm not a homeless man[00:02:32]
"I'm not a homeless man[00:03:09]
I'm a gypsy by trade[00:03:12]
And I'm travelin' this land"[00:03:14]
She's not a homeless woman[00:03:19]
