Description
This is about a young man from the country who took a trip to the big city and in shock as to what he seen. How could there be so much poverty and homelessness in one of the richest countries in the world? How can you give billions to the rich, but can't spare one thin dime to the poor.
Lyrics
Lonely Boy (In A Big’O City) It’s getting late in the evening And the sun is going down Say the night is mighty young And there’s no one else around Hey mister can you spare a dime Hey miss do you have the time I’ve been sleeping on these sidewalks Looking at the people and the way they talk Lonely boy in a big o city And I’m feeling all alone Lonely boy in a big o city Oh lord I wanna go home See the children in the street No shoes they have on their feet No place to lay their head And all they need is a warm bed, Hey mister can you spare a dime Hey miss do you have the time I’ve been sleeping on these sidewalks Looking at the people and the way they talk Lonely boy in a big o city And I’m feeling all alone Lonely boy in a big o city Oh lord I wanna go home Guess I’ll catch the train out in the morning<br/>Leaving this big o city behind I have mom and my children Weighing heavy on my mind The city life is not for me I’m going home, where I’m loved and free I can here the city calling me But this is not where I’m suppose to be Hey mister can you spare a dime
