Lyrics
Ragged Man ©2013 James Odle, Jr. / Jody Dickey / Bob Wyatt His clothes a little ragged in his step a little stagger blisters from that hot asphalt street but the magic is still in his feet pushing round an old rusty cart a song of joy still in his heart as I finished my drink that day he turned and I heard him say Don't feel sorry for me The Good Lord's got a plan, don't you see Every night before I lay down to sleep He makes sure that I've earned my keep Pulling dreams out of a ditch May not make this poor sinner rich But His truth's like pure amnesty To a ragged man like me So I offered him my can he reached out and he shook my hand said, "Kindness goes a long, long way.” but he blessed my soul that day when he tossed that can in his cart he left me with his song in my heart (repeat chorus)

Love the positive message in this track. Vocals and lyrics both perfect! Guitar adds that flavour which just finishes the track off nicely. I have just uploaded my new single "Life Part 2" let me know what you think Jody B-Mize
