Leo Sayer - Streets of Your Town lyrics

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 wanna 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
You wave your thumb and you hop on board
You ain't got no keeper you
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
We lean on the walls of salvation halls
In the streets of your town

We're just a little shady
We get a little lazy and you go all crazy
In the streets of your town

In the parks about sundown we lay our heads
Our shoes are our pillow the grass our bed
Don't need no keeper don't need a friend
I betcha wish you were the same
Yeah I betcha wish you were the same
I betcha wish you were the same
