Song information
I tend to have a soft spot for the homeless. In beautiful Vancouver, the ugliest spot just where tourists disembark from their classy cruise ships is several blocks of wandering, aimless, hope-less people. Fentanyl culls them big time, but the numbers quickly rise again. The climate here attracts so many from colder punishing climes!

Lyrics
Pizza boxes make good pillows in the park,
Pepperoni wafting breaks apart my heart,  
Is this life for homeless on the streets?
Have the frauds and scammers set me free?
Ohhh the pride in me won’t make the tears,
No no no…though it’s hard, so cold the fear,
Now the police dogs won’t let me go,
And my dirty hoodie has many holes.
Chorus
Tonight once again I’ll be a scavenger,
Tonight it’s all the same, the same old challenges,
Cause the hunger pangs no longer share,
Cause it smells so good from even down there,
Repeat Chorus   Instrumental Break D7   G   D
Verse 2
Found a torn-up tent to stake up my roof,
Hope the rains don’t come to test it too soon,
The dump’s way too far for skytrain ride,
And the back street gifts too meager tonight,
Ohhh the dumpster calls from the Safeway store,
No no no…the stuff they throw won’t kill no more,
Even the city won’t give me no bed,
They send the bloody cops to chase me instead.

Music heals the soul and the blues are the greatest expression. Your lyrics tell it all and your delivery is so heartfelt it touches deep.

Very nice song Stan but, be aware that too much reverb drowns out your mix and makes everything sound “floaty”.
