Warrant - Music Man lyrics

I’ve got a memory walking down the Street Momma pull me and said Hey son, you stay close to me. Yes Ma’am Now it’s not polite to stare at the man over there With his dusty old clothes and his long long black hair. No momma Everybody thought he was crazy or lazy Never had a dime or a plan I remember in the neighborhood Hearin’ about him when I was just a little boy Just a shriverled old man bleedin’ from his hands Frowning all the time ’cause he never could find no joy Everybody thought he was lazy or crazy Never had a dime or a plan Just an old soul axe slingin’ blues singin’ music man, Yeah, that’s right, music man Tellin’ tall tales of ridin’ the rails Just broke as a joke with a beat up old guitar to play See he’d sit outside of the old drug store Playin’ songs full of pain and beggin’ for a little spare change Everybody thought he was lazy or crazy Never had a dime or a plan Just an old soul axe slingin’ blues singin’ music man, Yeah yeah, music man Church folk said he made a deal with the devil And his chickens had all come home That’s why he didn’t have a pot to piss in No woman no friends and he spent his life alone Oh, spent his life alone Everybody thought he was crazy or lazy Never had a dime or a plan Jammin’ all night by the Street corner light Just doin’ the best he can Just an old soul axe slingin’ blues singin’ music man, Oh yeah, just a music man, allright, Some music man, doin’ the best he can Music man
