R&B Song about a homeless man
Stoneman wrote produced and performed everything on this recording
|
I was going into a fast food place and a man approached me asking if I had any spare change. I took him into the restaurant and let hi order some food on my dime. Then as we sat eating he began to tell me his story and I was inspired by that to write this song.

Can you spare it, can you
Can you spare it, can you spare some change
Can you spare it, Can you, can you spare it dime
Can you spare it, Can you, spare it
Excuse me if I say and I hope you don’t mind
But I’m so down on my luck, brother can you spar a dime
I been walking these streets for such a mighty long time
Trying to find anything I can eat, with this old short dog of wine
Can you spare it, can you. spare it
Can you spare it, can you spare some change
Can you spare it, Can you, can you spare a dime
Can you spare it, Can you,
It’s been so cold you know and I don’t feel very well
I got a cough that just won’t go away and both my feet have started to swell
Every since Vietnam I’ve been feeling so strange, and the voices in my head don’t remember my name
Can you spare it, can you spare it
Can you spare it, can you spare some change
Can you spare it, Can you, can you spare some change
Can you spare it, Can you,
Rumbling through all the trash and the garbage
Looking for something that’s worthy to eat
Carrying off anything I can manage
and hoping to find shoes that fit on my feet
Lost and alone I was once a paid worker but
only one paycheck away from defeat
They laid me off and cast me off and
left me wishing i was dead from disease
Can you spare it, can you spare it
Can you spare it, can you spare some change
Can you spare it, Can you, can you spare some change
Can you spare it, Can you,
