Nanci Griffith - Down ‘N' Outer lyrics
[Nanci Griffith - Down ‘N' Outer lyrics]
We share a dream I couldn't make come true
I was a child who wrote my name
Across a frosted window pane
And there are jobs that I might hold
If they'd just let me through the door
Without a shower and new clothes
That I can ill afford
Can you spare the time?
Can you spare a dime?
Can you look me in the eye? I'm down 'n' out
And I am lonely do you ever think of me on
Sunday? No I don't live
Across the water hey I live right here
On this corner just a bank account away from
America
I won't hurt your family
I don't want a house there on your street
And I know you think that I'm
As lazy as a hobo's sigh
Now, you call me down 'n' outer
If there's a way out i've not found 'er
I only want to earn my piece of America
Can you spare the time?
Can you spare a dime?
Can you look me in the eye? I'm down 'n' out
And I am lonely do you ever think of me on
Sunday? No I don't live
Across the water hey I live right here
On this corner just a bank account away from
America
I'm just a bank account away from America
