Homeless Lyrics - J. J. Cale

(J.J. Cale) 

She said she had no money 

But he was in doubt 

He told her, "I used to be in too" 

But now he was out 

"Spare some small change lady 

And I'll be on my way" 

She looked into his eyes 

And deep in his soul 

I know she was wondering 

If he was in control 

She muttered to herself, "Those beggars, 

Where do they all come from?" 

He said, "I'm not a homeless man 

I'm a gypsy by trade 

And I'm travelling this land 

I'm not a homeless man"

He moved through the streets 

With his headband low 

Never thinking he would never see 

That woman again, you know 

Just sleeping in the doorways 

And alleys like he always had 

The years rolled by 

And later on 

He spotted an old woman 

All tattered and worn 

Hard times had got her 

Her clothes were ragged and old 

She said, "I'm not a homeless woman 

I'm a gypsy by trade 

And I'm travelling this land 

I'm not a homeless woman"

Sometime in the daytime 

Sometimes at night 

You will see a couple walking 

They'll come into sight 

Pushing their carts 

And holding hands 

If you ask to help 

They'll just run away 

Like little children, out to play 

And if you ask, "Who are you" 

They'll always say 

"I'm not a homeless man 

I'm a gypsy by trade 

And I'm travelling this land 

She's not a homeless woman 

I'm not a homeless man"
