lyrics

In a run down old shackle outside the village square
an old man lies shameful without a dime to spare.
Well you may not have notice in the early of the day.
You may have turned your shoulder and you may have walked away.
But you think of what you pray for your money, your health, your home
and you go on living shameless still keeping what you've owned.

But on a cold winters night or a warm summer morn'.
The dirty old rat in a quarry or a storm
Is someone who'd love a meal at their home
but theres more to this story than we know.

So you peek around the alley to see what you can see
and you see a man who doesn't fit in your society.
So you give the man a dollar and he takes it with a grin
but he doesn't know your sympathy or about how much you sin.
But you turn and walk away now so proud of what you've done
and the man says "Thanks for nothin', you wont miss me when Im gone."

But on a cold winters night or a warm summer morn'.
The dirty old rat in a quarry or a storm
Is someone who'd love a meal at their home
but theres more to this story than we know.
