Lyrics

Sidewalk Begging

Well, I'm crazy
The way that I live
I've been sidewalk begging
But nobody gives

I've been living on the streets
All of my life
I got no momma, no daddy
I ain't got no wife

I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be a dead man
I'm crazy
I'm crazy

Well, you can look at my face
Can see I'm no good
I know I oughta do better
If only I could

The little children walk around me
(?)
I wanna live to be a hundred years old
I don't wanna die
No, no, no-no, no!

I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be a dead man
I'm crazy
I'm crazy

The police want to arrest me
And throw me in jail
I guess they don't already know it
My life is a hell

The little children walk around me
(?)
I wanna live to be a hundred years old
I don't wanna die
No, no, no-no, no!

I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be a dead man
I'm crazy
I'm crazy
I'm crazy
I'm crazy, crazy!
