lyrics

There he sat on the front of my steps
Saying “I’m a day dead man walking, with no purpose to live”

Can you light my cigarette and leave the front porch dark
You can give me a place to stay and I’ll be your guard

Trust me I know what your thinking
But there’s more to the story then just sleeping and cigarettes

Flying signs at 6th and Broadway
Bringing smiles to the people driving by
I realized that’s worth more then loose change
Maybe I’m meant for this circumstance, but my reasons aren’t the same

Boy, keep me talking long enough til they close Scooters
This is how you save me from getting drunk aint that a wonder

No program will do, no state of mind
Just a little bit of your company and an hour of your time.”
I realized that’s worth more then loose change
Maybe I’m meant for this circumstance, but God’s not to blame

Neighbor James, only stayed on the nights I left the porch light off
The difference you make before they’re saved is to find them wandering in the dark
