2.J I’m the cripple on the corner
J You’ve passed me on the street.
J And I wouldn’t be out here begging
J If I had enough to eat.
J And don’t think I don’t notice
J That our eyes never meet.
D I lost my wife and little boy
D When someone crossed the yellow line
D The day they laid them on the ground
D Is the day I lost my mind.
D And now I’m down to holding
D This little cardboard sign.
