Lyrics
I watched him walk, down the street
Headed toward the mission
For a meal and a place to sleep
When he arrived, all the beds were taken
That's when I offered him to stay with me.
(Spoken)That's when he said:
I'm not homeless, no need to worry
I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets.
No, I'm not homeless and I never will be,
There's a mansion in the sky waiting for me.
17 beat instrumental break
We found him that next mornin
Face down in the ally, windchill 40 below
Nobody knew where the old man came from
I'll never forget these words written in the snow.
(Spoken) And they said:
I'm not homeless, no need to worry
I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets.
No, I'm not homeless and I never will be
There's a mansion in the sky waiting for me.
Only me and the preacher showed up for the funeral
We stood at the grave and sang a song
Yeah the sun was shining when the lightening struck
As I read these words on that old man's grave stone
I'm not homeless, no need to worry
I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets.
No, I'm not homeless and I never will be
There's a mansion in the sky waiting for me.
There's a mansion in the sky waiting for me.
