Donut Man

on the corner of 5th and main

by an old riverbed and a railroad train

there's a shop near the track

the owner works in the back

he's got a hole in his shirt, a hole in his shoe

he walks around without a whole lot to do

he's got no car, he's got no clothes

does what he does

and that's all he knows

coz he's a donut man

he's doin' what he can

he's happy every day

he's got nothin' to lose

he's found his way

he's a donut man

he's doin' what he can

he's happy every day

he's got nothin' to lose

he's found his way

for at least ten years and a day

he's been going in and out of his way

to give what he's got

the lord knows he gives a lot

with his fortune made and money down

the gifts he gives are all over town

on his face a beautiful smile

he's sending out all the while

coz he's a donut man

he's doin' what he can

he's happy every day

he's got nothin' to lose

he's found his way

he's a donut man

he's doin' what he can

he's happy every day

he's got nothin' to lose

he's found his way

his children grew up and he grew old

his hands got shakey and his shop got sold

now many lies and the story's been told

there ain't nothing left but a donut hole

coz he's a donut man

he's doin' what he can

he's happy every day

he's got nothin' to lose

he's found his way

he's a donut man

he's doin' what he can

he's happy every day

he's got nothin' to lose

he's found his way

donut man
