lyrics

Well I've been a Beggar
A chooser
A short term winner
And a long time loser
I've done most this on my own
I've slept on streets of cobblestone
I bring my songs to the people
Sing a few songs from the heart
Then I pick up my guitar
And do it all again from the start
And someone said
Hey Boy'
How you gonna live like this
I said
it buys me my coffee
And it gets me a couple of friends
For the rest
I don't mind
However it may come
Because all I know is in my soul
There's a few more songs to be sung
So I said
Hey Mr Man,
What exactly do you do
To be
Going around judging me
like I'm some sort of fool
I got the world in my hands
And its got six strings
So why don't you go on over and buy me a drink
Because I've been a Beggar
And a chooser
But I ain't no fool
Because I've been a Beggar
And a chooser
But I ain't no fool
Because I've been a Beggar
And a chooser
But I ain't no fool
Now don't you know
Not to kick a man while he's down
Because that
Same kid with a guitar can take over
Your whole fucking town
I got the world in my hands
And its got six strings
So why don't you go on over and buy me a drink
Because I've been a Beggar
And a chooser
But I ain't no fool
Because I've been a Beggar
And a chooser
But I ain't no fool
Because I've been a Beggar
And a chooser
But I ain't no fool
Now three pretty ladies walk into a bar
One looks at me like I'm a new guitar
I got the world in my hands
And it's got six strings
So why don't I come on over and buy you a drink
Because I've been a Beggar
And a chooser
But I ain't no fool
Because I've been a Beggar
And a chooser
But I ain't no fool
Because I've been a Beggar
And a chooser
But I ain't no fool
