Homeless Livin' Under a Bridge

It all started about two years ago
He had a wife and a normal life
getting ready to start a family
Not a lot of strife ..

Had a good job in the city
and was finishing up school at night
Mom always wanted him to graduate
She'd say “Son do it right”.

He and kitty went out to dinner
one cold friday night last year
and on his way home that fateful night
his car wouldn't steer

He tried to turn the wheel
but it wouldn't budge at all
as the car rolled down the embankment
it was an endless, surreal fall ..

Now he's living under a bridge
can't seem to find his way
Never thought he'd wind up homeless
but he's there today.

Living under a bridge
Where did it all go wrong
wish he had it all back again
got to stay strong.

His lovely kitty - She died at the scene
and he went to intensive care
He just doesn't remember any of it
just doesn't seem very fair

His life went spiraling out of control
lost his job and all self respect
They came for his house without mercy
What else could he expect?

Now he's living under a bridge
can't seem to find his way
Never thought he'd wind up homeless
but he's there today.

Living under a bridge
where did it all go wrong
wish he had it all back again
got to stay strong.

They put all his belongings out on the lawn
and boarded up his home
He just stood there tears streaming down
He was all alone

So he took what he could carry
and headed to the park
and huddled down under the bridge
it was cold, he was scared and it was dark

Now he's living under a bridge
can't seem to find his way
Never thought he'd wind up homeless
but he's there today.

Living under a bridge
where did it all go wrong
Wish he had it all back again
got to stay strong

Now he's living under a bridge
can't seem to find his way
Never thought he'd wind up ..
