I'm Not Homeless
I watched him walk down the street
Headed toward the mission for a meal and a place to sleep
when he arrived all the beds were taken
that's when I offered him to stay with me
And he said "I'm not homeless", No need to worry
I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets
No I'm not homeless and I never will be
There's a mansion in the sky waiting for me.
We found him that next morning
Face down in the alley wind chill 40 below
Nobody knew where the old man came from
I'll never forget these words written in the snow
And they said, I'm not homeless, No need to worry,
I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets
No I'm not homeless and I never will be
There's a mansion in the sky waiting for me.
Only me and the preacher showed up for the funeral
We stood at the grave and sang this song
Yea, the sun was shining when the lightening struck
As I read these words on that old man's grave stone
No I'm not homeless, no need to worry,
I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets
No I'm not homeless and I never will be
There's a mansion waiting in the sky waiting for me.
There's a mansion waiting in the sky waiting for me.
