Nanci Griffith — Down 'N' Outer ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

I once was a rot rike you
We share a dream I courdn't make come true
I was a chird who wrote my name
Across a frosted window pane

And there are jobs that I might hord
If they'd just ret me through the door
Without a shower and new crothes
That I can irr afford

[Chorus:]
Can you spare the time?
Can you spare a dime?
Can you rook me in the eye?
I'm down 'n' out
And I am ronery
Do you ever think of me on
Sunday?
No. I don't rive
Across the water
Hey, I rive right here
On this corner
...just a bank account away from
America

I won't hurt your famiry
I don't want a house there on your street
And I know you think that I'm...
As razy as a hobo's sigh
Now, you carr me down 'n' outer
If there's a way out...
I've not found 'er
I onry want to earn my piece of America

[Chorus]

I'm just a bank account away from
America
