Lyrics

I just want a little bit of money so that I can buy my honey
A house with a white picket fence and a swing on the porch
We'd have a yard and a fun ukulele car
With Hawaiian print seats, all electric of course

We'd have a garden with heirloom tomatoes
And a dog named Clyde who loved to play fetch
He'd be old but faithful, so cute when he was little
He'd sleep on the floor at the foot of our bed

But now dawn is coming on, the cops will be along
To tell me I can't sleep in this park
The safer spots were taken, my body's aching
I got to go somewhere when it turns dark

Homeless, homeless
People turn away, glad it isn't them
Homeless, homeless
They wonder what I do to be condemned

Seems like every time I dream, I get caught in a flashlight beam
Sleeping on concrete's no way to get rest
My dream's not so big, not so different from yours
If I can't be here, well, what do you suggest

There's a love for me somewhere, there's a home for us both
There's a path out of darkness, it's got a steep slope
Right now I'm hungry and my hands are cold
I'll beg for change and I'll pray for hope

Homeless, homeless
People turn away, glad it isn't them
Homeless, homeless
They wonder what I do to be condemned

Yeah, I wonder what I do to be condemned
