Streets of Your Town

Have you seen the old men

That lean on the walls

Of Salvation Halls

In the streets of your town

You can't have missed

The vagrant

He is the rubble

He is the trouble that you want to remove

In the parks about sundown

He makes his bed

His shoes are a pillow for his head

Have you seen the young men

That look so old

They'd rather have the cold dark lonely road

Have you ever wondered

Why do they go

Leaving the TV and the automo

You can see 'em hailing trucks down the open road

Wave your thumb and you hop on board

'Ain't got no keeper don't need a friend

I betcha wish you had the same

Yeah I betcha wish you had the same

Have you seen the old men

Who lean on the walls

Of Salvation Halls

In the streets of your town

We're just a little shady

We get a little lazy

While you all go crazy

In the streets of your town

In the parks about sundown

We lay our heads

Our shoes are pillow

The grass our bed

Don't need no keeper

Don't need no friend

I betcha wish you were the same

Yeah I betcha wish you were the same
