I Kelowna the Homeless use shopping trolleys to transport their worldly belongings. And winter's coming...
I'M MAKING A LIVING
V1: I'm making a living spending my time
Street corner playing
Playing for dimes
I'm making a living sing well known tunes
Little boy smiles five cents red balloon
I'm making a living
I need a room and
CH1: I ain't got no money for dental care
I ain't got no money to cut my hair
I ain't got no money to wash my clothes
My trolley's gone it always gets stole so
I'm smiling and smoking a stub that I found
Winter's coming leaves red gold brown and
V2: I'm making a living day after day
Pitch outside Starbucks
Where rich folk pay
Their thousands each year for their daily brew
If I had their money
What would I do well
CH2: I'd go pay for all my dental care
I'd go pay someone to wash cut my hair
I'd go pay for beautiful new clean clothes
Have a bed in a place that won't get stole
I'd be smiling and smoking a full cigarette
Giving my dog treats from stores for pets and
BR: I like to dream I like to roam
I like to imagine I'm not a hobo
I like to on good days thank God that I'm here
But the cold is coming it's the cold I fear so
CH1:
V1: I'm making a living spending my time
Street corner playing playing for dimes
I'm making a living sing well known tunes
Little boy drops five cents red balloon
I'm making a living
I need a room
Coda: I'm making a living
Winter's coming
I need a room (x3)
