Billy Joe Shaver
Tramp On Your Street
[Verse 1]
It was a long time ago, no shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of train track to hear Hank Williams sing
His body was worn but his spirit was free
And he sang every song looking right straight at me
[Chorus]
I'm just a tramp on the street
Hank, you must understand
You've got my soul at your feet
Oh, and my heart in your hand
[Verse 2]
Now, I don't have to think and I don't have to cheat
Oh, I don't have to win and I don't want to lose
If I make any hay I'd just float away
I don't count on tomorrow I just live for today
[Chorus]
Sir, I'm a tramp on your street
And you must understand
You've got my soul at your feet
And my heart in your hand
[Bridge]
Hank, you opened your heart and you let me inside
And made a stray dog like me feel welcome tonight
[Verse 1]
Oh, a long time ago no shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of track to hear Hank Williams sing
His body was worn but his spirit was free
And he sang every song looking right straight at me
