Street People - Bobby Charles

Hangin' out with the street people

They got it down

Hangin' out with the street people

Just drifting from town to town

I got a job in a nursery

But they just didn’t like what I grow

They called the man and they ran me off

And said now don’t come back no more

I’m hangin' out with the street people

They got it down

Hangin' out with the street people

Driftin' from town to town

Who’s gonna work, make the economy grow

If we all hang out in the street

Well, I don’t know, and I don’t care

Just as long as it ain’t me

Hangin' out with the street people

They got it down

Hangin' out with the street people

Driftin' from town to town

Wouldn’t trade places with no one I know

I’m happy where I’m at

Some people would rather work

We need people like that

Wouldn’t trade places with no one I know

I’m happy where I’m at

Some people would rather work

We need people like that

I’m glad I’m a street people

Have it no other way

And I’m gonna stay a street people

Until my dying day

Just hangin' out, got nothin' else to do

Have you got any spare change, buddy?
