INTRO: C G Am F Dm C F GVERSE 1:
Cardboard sign old and bent says ‘friend for life 25 cents
When did this start making sense, Man it’s really getting cold
Sometimes I forget things and I get confused
I could still be working, but they refuse
Now I’m living with the bums and the wes and the abused, man I hate
getting old
CHORUS:
Homeless, get away from here dont give them no money they’ll just spend it
on beer
Homeless, will work for food, you’ll do anything that you gotta do, when
you’re homeless.
VERSE 2:
Betty sings a song that no one hears, as the wind begins to freeze her tears
She says ‘God it’s been so many years’, she’s way past complain’n
She sings a heartelt melody, one that begs for harmony
No it’s not what she thought it would be, but hey it could be rainin
CHORUS:
Homeless, get away from here dont give them no money they’ll just spend it
on beer
Homeless, will work for food, you’ll do anything that you gotta do, when
you’re homeless.
VERSE 3:
You know life ain’t easy it takes work, it takes healing cause you’re gonna
get hurt
You can lose your faith you can lose your shirt, lose your way sometimes
Ah you never really have control, sometimes you just gotta let it go
When the final line unfolds, it don’t always rhyme
REPEAT CHORUS x2
Cardboard sign old and bent says ‘friend for life 25 cents
