Hanging out with the street people
They got it down
Hanging out with the street people
Drifting from town to town
I got a job in a nursery
But they just didn't like what I grow
They call a man and he ran me off
Said don't come back no more
Hanging out with the street people
They got it down
Hanging out with the street people
Drifting from town to town
Who's gonna work, make the economy grow
If we all hang out in the street
I don't know and I don't care
Just as long as it ain't me
Hanging out with the street people
They got it down
Hanging out with the street people
Drifting from town to town
I wouldn't trade places with no one I know
I'm happy where I'm at
Some people would rather work
We need people like that
I wouldn't trade places with no one I know
I'm happy where I'm at
Some people would rather work
We need people like that
Hanging out with the street people
Having no other way
I'm going to stay a street people
Until my dying day
Hanging out with the street people
They got it down
Hanging out with the street people
Drifting from town to town
Hanging out with the street people
They got it down
Hanging out with the street people
Drifting from town to town
