Life on the Strret
Words and music by G. Bryan Miller
Copyright 2004

I'm sittin' here, watching the world go by
Never once, did anybody ask me why
Did I choose, my life to end this why
The answer is no, but here I am anyway

I wander the streets, looking for my next meal
I'll eat from the garbage, but I won't steal
I keep myself warm, with yesterdays news
I've got these sores on my feat, from the holes in my shoes.

They call this life on the street
They call this life on the street

I hold out my hands as you pass on by
You drop a dime in my cup, but you won't look in my eyes
You do whatever it takes, to keep from seeing
I'm just like you, a human being

This is life on the street
Yeah, they call this life on the street
Hey, this is life on the street
Oh, they call this life on the street

And the street is no place to live your life
Sleeping on the concrete night after night
Please don't let me die here on the street

Oh, they call this life on the street
Yeah, they call this life on the street
Oh, they call this life on the street
Hey, they call this life on the street
