Sleeping under tables
by Unknown
Lyrics
,Been on my own
two dam feet
remember when
I was cold, misery ,
and wet
I couldn't even feel
my two dam on
pairs of feet
fingers and hands
so dam cold
if I moved them
they would fill
like I would loose'em
are they would just
crack off one by one
like a frozen limb
dam I was one
freezing cold dam
hell of a man
Walk.alone
by myself
just to find
warmth and shelter
some nights
I'd fall asleep
up under a table
were moms and kids
would wake me up
folding laundry
on the table
they would try
not to wake me
As I was passed out
under the table
Mom's would say stay away
don't you bother
that dear man
then the owner
would come and wake
sleeping old me
tell me to leave
you poor man
I'd just give the kids
a wink and a smile
tell the moms sorry
that I was in the way
look at the owner
and tell him to
have a bless day
Thwad out one hungry man
I'd go volunteer
so I could eat
go back to camp
start a fire
kick back with a can of spam
usually had a cold drink
in hand
spark a fire
and climb on in
my weathered tent
Never felt ashamed
are embarrassed
I would always look up
towards the sky
and tell God
that I don't know why
but I'm as happy now
as I've ever been
I'd rather do that
over and over
again ,and again
then wind up
back in the pen
where we would stay
bumping over and over
once again
that shit will
