They laugh


They laugh at my clothes

Tattered and worn

They laugh at my scars

Life has been hard


Day after day

They throw their jeers

Hateful words brings me to tears

Yes it hurts what they say

The name calling


They throw hatred and laugh

Yes I cry

Yes I shed tears

But

I never fight back

By doing so

I prove I'm better than they

Dream

 


Rest your head

Upon your bed

Sleep beneath the moonlight 


Stars shine

Diamonds in the sky

Drift way and dream

Down on the corner

 

Got my guitar in my arms

Guitar case lays open at my feet

Let's jam


From the very first chord played

People stop to listen

As my fingers dance over the guitar strings

Each song played a story of its own

I'll be here on the corner all day


Come listen to my songs

The stories I tell

Drop some change in the case

Show some goodwill 


I may be a poor boy playing on the corner 

But the music is king

Battle

  The Bitter Butter Battle of Bristol Batter
