about

The main character in the story is walking down the street one day and come across a band of bums. He loved their sound more than anything he has heard before. He takes a minute and talks to the man for a few moments. The bum gives him some advice that he will use later.

lyrics

Pardon me sir
If you have a moment to spare
I’m diggin’ your music
I couldn’t help but stare

I love the way your music flows
You guys put on one a hell of a show
Here’s a small tip and a thanks from me
This kind of thing shouldn’t be free

It’s amazing to me how people pass right by
The greatest performance I’ve seen with my eyes
I must know one thing If you don’t mind me asking
If you guys are so good, then why are you on the street?

He said to me
I love this gig but not for the money
I love this gig because my days are always sunny
When I’m out here with my band of bums
I forget about my life and how I live in the slums

This life is hard enough trying to make it through
But I make enough money off of people like you
Who tip me for a song well played
I get to live my life one more day

I love what I do, don’t you see?
When I play, you’re really seeing me
And son I’m the freest man there can be
