Nanci Griffith - Down 'N' Outer lyrics

I once was a lot like you 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
