Numb, my feet wore through these soles some miles ago
Discarded crumbled paper from an old gas station meal sits there below
Cold, tattered holes here in this coat someone threw out
Frayed denim on the knees of Levi jeans and a weathered cap to stay the wind
Life is beautiful until it's not You got big dreams that don't pan out cause
You ain't God. One day you're high and mighty
Next day you're on the street, a nomad on the sidewalks
No home beneath your feet
Gone, no stars to see through foggy city lights
Newspaper blanket pressed against the frame of an old park bench
Sleep with one eye open to watch my things No crickets, just the sirens and the lights blue and red
Life is beautiful until it's not You got big dreams that don't pan out cause
You ain't God One day you're high and mighty
Next day you're on the street, a nomad on the sidewalks
No home beneath your feet
One more day with all these tourists on old church street
Silent judgment, unkind stares all aimed at me
Life is beautiful until it's not You got big dreams that don't pan out cause
You ain't God One day you're high and mighty
Next day you're on the street, a nomad on the sidewalks
No home beneath your feet
