Tramp on Your Street lyrics

A long time ago

No shoes on my feet

I walked ten miles of train track

To hear Hank Williams sing

His body was worn

But his spirit was free

And he sang every song

Looking right straight at me

Just a tramp on your street

You must understand

You got my soul at your feet

And my heart in your hand

No I don't have to pick

And I don't have to choose

I don't have to win

And I don't have to lose

And if I make any pay

I just throw it away

I don't count on tomorrow

I just live for today

Still you opened yourself

And you held me inside

You made a stray dog like me

Feel welcome tonight

I'm just a tramp on your street
