i used to know a swell guy
lots of love but no real life
nothing that he could claim his own
except the pavement he calls home

i used to know a pretty cool dude
that was before he up'd and moved
i use to see him walking down the street
he don't need a home. he's got his two feet

favored by the local kids
everyone thought he's hip
jamming away on his old guitar
just 5 strings but he'll go real far
yeah he's gone real far

there was once a kid i knew
lost it all but holds the truth
ask him anything you'd like
maybe then you'd be surprised

i asked him once what do i do
with this life i didn't choose
he looked at me and said those words
'life's a blessing, not a curse
so i'm asking you, how can it get any worse?'
