Del Reeves - One Bum Town lyrics

The old census taker bans my name from this town's population Misfit ain't to the word I'd use to fit my situation My predicaments known to every bum for miles around It's my misfortune to be fortunate bummin' and in a one bum town Since I cannot afford a cup I've been sticking out my hand You should see that things I get safety pins and rubber bands It's so embarra**ing ‘cause my homemade sungla**es keep falling down Somebody up there has got it in for me bummin' in a one bum town We'll Sheriff Brown has pa**ed a law that prohibits all givin' But one stop sign gives tourists time to help me make a livin' Ballpoint pens have forced me to close my pencil business down The side cops take turns walking up and down the sides Bummin' in a one bum town
