Guy Clark - Homeless Lyrics
Cardboard sign old and bent, says "Friend for Life 25¢"
When did this start makin' 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 livin' with the bums, the whores and the abused
Homeless...get away from here
Don't give 'em no money they just spend it on beer
Homeless...will work for food
You'll do anything that you gotta do when you're homeless
Betty sings a song that no one hears
The wind begins to freeze her tears
She says God it's been so many years
She's way past complainin'
One that begs for harmony
Yah it's not what she thought it'd be
But hey it could be rainin'
Homeless...get away from here
Don't give 'em no money they just spend it on beer
Homeless...will work for food
You'll do anything you gotta do when you're homeless
You know life ain't easy it takes work
It takes healin' cause you're going to get hurt
You can lose your faith you can lose your shirt
Lose your way some time
Ah, you never really have control
Sometimes you just gotta let it go
When the final line unfolds
It don't always rhyme
Homeless...get away from here
Don't give 'em no money they just spend it on beer
Homeless...will work for food
You'll do anything that you gotta do when you're homeless
Homeless...get away from here
Don't give 'em no money they just spend it on beer
Homeless...will work for food
You'll do anything that you gotta do when you're homeless
Cardboard sign old and bent, says "Friend for Life 25¢"

Guy Clark Homeless Comments
I have been homeless so this one hits home.
Diego, te consulto si puedes subir el track "Off The Map", también del álbum "The Dark". Solo hay covers de la canción y me encantaría conocer la original. Saludos desde Argentina.
Much needed words, as so many city councils bicker, the "no camp near me rhetoric". Even donations made are stipulated -don't get a beer. Trying to "control" those with nothing. It is not going away with every disaster. Sure some choose the street freedoms, yet MOST are hit hard. Complex situations as more face the impending collapse THAT will affect us all. Bless all with a heart !
There is so much between the lines it's up there with Townes, Maria. I saw them play in lreland many times. I followed Townes with he's guitar once because I couldn't find the venue in galway. They were the best. Nothing like them today. 👆
Great song!
thanks for this beautiful Song
Will live forevermore
Stops me in my tracks every time, beautiful. Thanks for posting. RIP Guy.
