I remember those days when I had big money 
never checked the price it just all came to me 
but now a days I'll be pinchin every penny 
5 star dining at my local denny's 
I've been sitting on the curb in you neighborhood 
looking at the streelight thinking how I could 
just get one response, maybe a glance 
but the system has it's rules about the second chance 

living by the tracks in the Barrio 
keeps my welfare state from the don risto 
don't be amazed when you see me out of line 
I've got my baseball bat to take care of joe grind 
thought I was one, baby I'm a fool 
because I've been wrong for years 

ain't it funny how everybody knows but you 
couldn't imagine what else you could do 

please spare me your regards baby 
time is long when your waiting pateintly 
that bed used to be so good 
now my pillow is a curb in your neighborhood 
thought I was one, but baby I'm a fool 
because I've been wrong for years 

Ain't it funny
