I've lost my possessions and all of my life
Somehow this just doesn't seem quite right
It's just the way things happened to me
That gave me this life of misery

Well my real home's not here
It's another place not so near

I've been on the street ever since that fateful day
And I stand on the corners to make my way
I like it when people stop and help
It makes me feel good about myself

I'm just a man on the side of the road
No place to go nowhere to call my own
I'm just a man on the side of the road
Could you pick me up and bring me home

On days when I have just nothing to do
And I've had a little bit of food
I go to the church for awhile to pray
And I usually stay the entire day

And I feel happy there
It might be weird but I don't care
I feel more peace there than anywhere
And I just say this one simple prayer
Could you pick me up and bring me home
