homeless

He's homeless
he's got nowhere to go
all he owns
is his guitar
and a transistor radio
 
and when he's
feeling like
he can't go on
he sings his songs
on the subway
 
he sounds
a little like dylan
plays like b.b. kng
and he feels
like he's someone
when they listen
to him sing
 
his only prayer
is one day
he'll get a break
and he can make
a record
how his heart aches
 
for him
it's not about the money
though it could
get him a home
he"s all about
connecting with
folks he has never known
when he sings
he never feels alone
