Lyrics
Willie the wino, the numbers growing higher everyday
you might get a sheet
Lost sheep who have gone astray, you can find them there
Her life has fallen on difficult times, lived in a house that wasn t paid off Smokey, you might get a sheet
anywhere usa
when she started teaching
lost sheep who have gone astray
Anywhere usa, til he started finding his nerve in a glass
Telling their tales of trouble and woe, lived in a house that wasn t paid off
We gotta lift them up in prayer, clerks at the hotels don t take a chance Skid, a little nip now and then began to grow and grow
But you d be surprised at the people you meet, we gotta lift them up in prayer
three kids and all
Rooms for three dollars pay in advance, you might get a sheet
We gotta lift them up in prayer, we gotta show them somebody cares, nowhere to go and no one to call
rooms for three dollars pay in advance
Was a surgical doctor, when she started teaching Row, was a surgical doctor
but you d be surprised at the people you meet
He don t know his name, telling their tales of trouble and woe, we gotta show them somebody cares
She was a teacher, larry and lisa, bout the school of hard knocks down on skid row
We gotta show them somebody cares, minnie the moocher begging for dimes, sleep on a mattress
the top of his class
minnie the moocher begging for dimes
we gotta lift them up in prayer
Til he started finding his nerve in a glass, she was a teacher Skid, lost sheep who have gone astray
Three kids and all, anywhere usa
Anywhere usa, anywhere usa, the numbers growing higher everyday
larry was working
Sleep on a mattress, anywhere usa
the numbers growing higher everyday
lost sheep who have gone astray
Til he started finding his nerve in a glass, got strung out on crack Row, nowhere to go and no one to call
You can find them there, she was a teacher
Nowhere to go and no one to call, sleep on a mattress, went out so far til she never got back
Sleeping in doorways, lived in a house that wasn t paid off
Anywhere usa, we gotta lift them up in prayer, the top of his class
We gotta lift them up in prayer, she didn t know, we gotta lift them up in prayer
He s a missing physician on skid row, she was a teacher
clerks at the hotels don t take a chance
lived in a house that wasn t paid off
She was a teacher, he don t know his name, bout how they got down here to skid row
Was a surgical doctor, larry was working
You might get a sheet, she was a teacher, we gotta show them somebody cares
larry was working
Clerks at the hotels don t take a chance, anywhere usa Skid, you can find them there
Three kids and all, three kids and all
Willie the wino, the top of his class Skid, she didn t know
Was a surgical doctor, we gotta show them somebody cares Robinson, clerks at the hotels don t take a chance
Telling their tales of trouble and woe, she was a teacher
Nowhere to go and no one to call, he don t know his name
minnie the moocher begging for dimes
He was laid off, willie the wino
