[00:00.00]Homeless - J.J. Cale
[00:16.63]She said, "She had no money"
[00:18.58]But he was in doubt
[00:20.48]He told her "I used to be in too
[00:22.65]But now he was out
[00:24.63]Spare some small change lady
[00:27.43]And I'll be on my way"
[00:32.31]She looked into his eyes
[00:34.40]And deep in his soul
[00:36.28]I know she was wonderin'
[00:38.02]If he was in control
[00:40.24]She muttered to herself
[00:42.20]"Those beggars where do they all come from?
[00:47.23]He said, "I'm not a homeless man
[00:50.78]I'm a gypsy by trade
[00:52.76]And I'm travelin' this land
[00:58.09]I'm not a homeless man
[01:02.07]He moved through the streets
[01:03.67]With his headband low
[01:05.71]Never thinkin' he would ever see
[01:07.70]That woman again, you know
[01:10.27]Just sleepin' in the doorways
[01:12.79]And alleys like he always had
[01:17.78]The years rolled by
[01:20.28]And later on
[01:21.84]He spotted an old woman
[01:23.36]All tattered and worn
[01:25.86]Hard times had got her
[01:28.17]Her clothes were ragged and old
[01:33.13]She said "I'm not a homeless woman
[01:36.25]I'm a gypsy by trade
[01:38.26]And I'm travelin' this land
[01:43.49]I'm not a homeless woman
[01:47.62]Sometime in the daytime
[01:49.59]Sometimes at night
[01:50.99]You will see a couple walkin'
[01:53.39]They'll come into sight
[01:55.55]Pushin' their carts
[01:58.83]And holdin' hands
[02:03.46]If you ask to help
[02:05.21]They'll just run away
[02:06.92]Like little children out to play
[02:11.20]And if you ask
[02:12.26]"Who are you?
[02:14.34]They'll always say
[02:19.05]"I'm not a homeless man
[02:21.76]I'm a gypsy by trade
[02:23.75]And I'm travelin' this land"
[02:28.85]She's not a homeless woman
[02:32.87]I'm not a homeless man
[03:09.51]"I'm not a homeless man
[03:12.26]I'm a gypsy by trade
[03:14.13]And I'm travelin' this land"
[03:19.34]She's not a homeless woman
