Verse 1
Blisters and cold coffee
The things that I own
As I sit by this road side
That I call my own
It's been too long since I've had
A roof over my head
At least I don't have to do the dishes or
Make my bed
It's true what they say about
All of us folks
We'll spend the money on cigarettes and alcohol
Just to drown out our hopes
This may be sad but it
Sure is true
Oh honey I'd sit here till the end of time
Just to have a second with you
Chorus x2
So when you walk past that girl
Whose tattered clothes are her world
Don't just walk past her
Don't just walk faster
Verse 2
Nowadays it seems like
everyone's preoccupied
The business men they are now deaf
to our pleas and our cries
And I'm still not quite sure
how I ended up this way
We were once so content,
oh darling wasn't that just yesterday?
The days and nights
are now a never-ending episode
And sometimes the snow will kiss my bones
When the nights they're so cold
And if I had one last wish
I'd make it loud and clear
'cause I promise you I'd do anything oh
Just to have your presence here
Chorus x2
So when you walk past that girl
Whose tattered clothes are her world
Don't just walk past her
Don't just walk faster
Bridge x2
So when you walk past that girl
Whose tattered clothes are her world
Don't you dare walk past her
Don't you dare walk faster
