Streets Of Your Town Lyrics - Sayer Leo

Leo Sayer & Frank Farrell 

have you seen the old men 

that lean on the walls 

of salvation halls 

in the streets of your town 

you can't have missed 

the vagrant 

he is the rubble 

he is the trouble you want to remove 

in the parks about sundown 

he makes his bed 

his shoes are a pillow for his head 

have you seen the young men 

that look so old 

they'd rather have the cold dark lonely road 

have you ever wondered 

why do they go 

leaving the tv and the automo 

you can see them hailing trucks down the open road 

you wave your thumb and you hop on board 

you ain't got no keeper you don't need a friend 

I betcha wish you were the same 

yeah I betcha wish you were the same 

have you seen the old men 

we lean on the walls 

of salvation halls 

in the streets of your town 

we're just a little shady 

we get a little crazy 

in the streets of your town 

in the parks about sundown 

we lay our heads 

our shoes are our pillow 

the grass our bed 

don't need no keeper 

and don't need no friend 

I betcha wish you were the same 

yeah I betcha wish you were the same
