I NEED SOCKS

I NEED SOCKS

Thinking of the homeless and the destitute
And one who has just been rescued

(chorus)
I need socks, I need shoes,
I need to sing the blues,
I’m alone, I’m feeling sad,
It’s been years since I’ve been glad.

My socks are old, by shoes are worn,
Sometimes I wish I’d not been born.
I need some love, I’ve love to share,
I need some tender loving care.

I need socks, I need shoes,
I need to sing the blues,
It’s no use no more,
I’ve nothing left in store.

I’ve been travellin’ now for many years,
Broken hearts, too many beers
My soul laid bare, my shoes lack soles
Too may cheap hotels and filthy holes.

My jeans are tattered, my shirt is worn,
Altogether I look forlorn.
My mother’d be ashamed of me.
I wear my shame where all can see.

I fall upon my knee!
There is no future that I can see.
Won’t you help a fella out?
Hear my silent des’prate shout.

I need socks, I need shoes,
I think I might be needing you.
I can’t live up to my old glories,
I need more than memories.

I need socks, I need shoes,
I need things that I can use,
I don’t need no more dreams,
Dreams are not for me.

Dreams are for the other fella,
I don’t have time to be mella.

But wait a minute, who is that acoming?
I think I see that old sunshine a sunning.
What’dya know, a helping hand is reaching out.
Hallelujah! Time to toss the hard times out.
