Down and Out

                                  I'll tell you a little story

A man roaming the streets

The one with raggedy clothes

The one you ignore to see



I'll tell you a little story

A man I used to know

Smelling oh so bad

People laugh at him



Down and out

Call him what you'd like

Penniless and broke

Destitute for life

Down and out

Without a roof tonight

Wandering around

His life is in a rut



I once knew a man

Who's life was doing fine

Got himself a degree

And a fine looking wife



I once knew a man

Put a mortgage on a house

Bought a nice car

And friends were all around



Cloudy days will come

Getting laid of is all part of life

Losing, first your house

Your wife is next line



Cloudy days will come

No friends are to be found

The life you once had

Is taken just like that!



Down and out

He was once one of us

Life can take a turn

Life can be unkind

Who's concern

How about you and me

Think for a minute

It can happen to anyone!
