I met a man on the go
He said, I just turned 54
I moved here from LA
There I had a nice place to stay
Now I'm living on the streets
For many days and many weeks

Brother man, can you spare a dime
Brother man, one minute of your time
Brother man, listen to me
Brother man, it's good to be free

He said I've got scars on my face
I've got scars on my back
I received during a turf war
That took place down by the railroad tracks
Fighting for a place to lay my head
Only to have a cardboard box for a bed

Brother man, can you spare a dime
Brother man, one minute of your time
Brother man, listen to me
Brother man, It's good to be free

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Ah Ah, ah ah, aha ah

To survive I eat from the garbage can
It makes me feel less than a man
I lost my job in 1998
My children don't know me this very day
Alcohol and drugs, are my closest friend
That's the world that I'm living in
So I must stay on the go
If I don't I will die, that's no lie
Excuse me for being high
That's the way it goes
You know

Brother man, can you spare a dime
Brother man, one minute of your time
Brother man, listen to me
Brother man, Its  good to be free

Brother man, can you spare a dime
Brother man, one minute of your time
Brother man, listen to me
Brother man, Its  good to be free

Brother man, can you spare a dime
Brother man, one minute of your time
Brother man, listen to me
Brother man, Its  good to be free
