Ive not a dollar to my name
Mister could you share a little change
Its getting cold and Im alone
Just a little help on your way home
I used to sell carpets down in Georgia
Makin good money for me and my gal
I came home from work early
I wish to the lord I would have called
A tortured month in Atlanta
No escape from the pain
I squandered all that I was given
Gonna go were no one knows my name
Chorus
Now its midnight under the railroad tracks
One eye open, watchin my back
Theres only one for me to blame
I never thought life would turn out this way
I never thought life would turn out this way
In this town everybody knows my game
They see me comin and they look away
I could get a job and make them proud
But Id surely let them down
Yes I know Id let em down
(Chorus)
Hey there buddy youre my friend
Its all the same in the end
What youve done for the least of mine
Ill remember for sometime
Yes Ill remember for sometime
(Chorus)
