Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just an old panhandler beggin' for change
Got no money in my pocket, so nobody knows my name
Just the clothes upon my shoulders and this boxwood full of strings
Just an old panhandler
Just an old panhandler beggin' for change
[Verse 2]
There's a presence in the darkness
So each night, I lay awake
I pray to the stars beyond the street lights
That if I die, my soul they'll take
[Verse 3]
Just an old panhandler out on the streets, beggin' for change
I got no money in my pocket, so nobody knows my name
[Verse 4]
In the alleys stay the junkies
Where busted dreams lay like broken glass
And the highways loom with dusty drifters
Thumb in the wind to forget the past
[Verse 5]
I'm just an old panhandler out on the streets, beggin' for change
I got no money in my pocket, so nobody knows my name
Just an old panhandler
Just an old panhandler
[Verse 6]
In glass castles plot the king's men
Behind closed doors is where they play
With the fortunes of the people
And the dreams of yesterday
[Verse 7]
There's a stirring of the people
The concrete canyons echo their cries
They shake their fist and scream for justice
Will the truth be brought to light?
[Verse 8]
Just an old panhandler out on the streets, beggin' for change
I got no money in my pocket, so nobody knows my name
Just an old panhandler out on the streets, beggin' for change
I got no money in my pocket, so nobody knows my name
Just an old panhandler
Just an old panhandler
Just an old panhandler
Beggin' for change
