Loved this backing track from Patrick, and added some vocals and lyrics.

Room for a solo in the middle.

Hope you enjoy

Lyrics
Brother, please can you spare a dime
Or just sit down and give me some time

Sorry pal I’m on my way
Today is a busy sort of day

Just sit down and rest your feet
Take time to talk, and take a seat

Checks his watch
And looks around

Why should I spend time
With this clown

Ok, I’ll take a break
As he shakes his head

Looking at this guy 
He’s filled with dread



They sit down and start to chat
Homeless guy knows this and that

Told his story with such aplomb
Unfortunate times that made things go wrong

The man’s amazed he’s glad he sat
This man really knows just where it’s at

Standing up, he starts to go
Got places to be, my job you know

Perhaps my friend I’ll see you again
Indeed I will, tomorrow at 10?

Very fine lyrics over Patrick's funky tuneage.
I like this one a lot.
Thematically (not musically) it reminds me of a favorite classic Grateful Dead song called
"Wharf Rat."
I lived on the streets for just under five years back in the day. Been on BOTH sides of the conversation.
Well done Mary!
