Well the sidewalk is home for a man who knows
Who's got nowhere to go
I got nothing to do and I ain't got time to do it
Man it's sure gettin' cold
(Don't know where I was born)
Well I can show you a picture
(I know that I ain't poor)
Well I should've been richer
Well God only knows where the night gets cold
And the old man's time has come
And I got nowhere to go and I don't know when I'm goin'
Man this place is gettin' old
(Don't know where I was born)
Well I can show you a picture
(I know that I ain't poor)
Well I ain't to poor
I should've been richer
(I was born on the streets
Where the streets is where I die)
Friends they call me
(Sidewalkin' Johnny)
Ooh well I've been everywhere I can
Well I'm back where I began
They call me
(Sidewalkin' Johnny)
(Don't know where I was born)
Well I can show you a picture
(I know that I ain't poor)
Well I ain't to poor
I should've been richer
(I was born on the streets
Where the streets is where I die)
Friends they call me
(Sidewalkin' Johnny)
Ooh well I've been everywhere I can
Well I'm back where I began
They call me
(Sidewalkin' Johnny)
Ooh well I've been sitting on the streets
(Sidewalkin' Johnny)
