Greg Brown - Just A Bum Lyrics

I saw a man he's a well-dressed man

He had a tan from the yucatan

He had a car he looked like a star

I said hey don't i know who you are

But when he glanced into my eyes

I saw yes i saw was such a big surprise

He was afraid that he's just a bum

Someday when all his stuff is gone and he's left without a dime

Time ain't money when all ya got is time

And you can see him standin on the corner with a nine-day beard and bright red eyes

I know a guy he's a pal of mine

I say hey. he say i'm doin fine

I'm movin up the ladder rung rung rung

I'm gonna get my million while i am still young

But at night when he's had a few

His eyes say different than his tongue

They say i'm afraid that i'm just a bum

Someday when all my stuff is gone and i'm left without a dime

Time ain't money when all ya got is time

And i can see me standin on the corner with my nine-day beard and my bright red eyes

Goin hey hey hey hey hey come on and listen to my story hey hey hey hey hey ah hey

Some people live to work work to live

Any little tremble and the earth might give

Ya can't hide it in a volvo or a london fog

Can't hide it in a mansion with an imported dog

No matter how we plan and rehearse we're at pink slip's mercy in a paper universe

And we're afraid that we're just a bum

Someday when all our stuff is gone and we're left without a dime

Time ain't money when all ya got is time

And we can see us standin on the corner with our nine-day beards and our bright red eyes

Goin hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey come on and listen to my story man hey hey hey hey hey ah hey

The man of sorrow's acquainted with grief

Stands in line waiting for relief

He will tell ya it wasn't always this way

One bad little thing happened one bad little day

Heartbreak has bad teeth and a sour smell and lives when he can in a cheap hotel

And he's afraid that he's just a bum

Someday when all his stuff is gone and he's left without a dime

Time ain't money when all ya got is time

And you can see him standin on the corner with a nine-day beard and bright red eyes

Goin hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey come on and listen to my story man hey hey hey hey hey ah hey
