On the Side of the Road

On the side of the road I lay in a box I wake up every morning to rummage for food I stand on the sidewalk beggging and entertaining for a small scrap of change The only safe haven for me is the public buildings it's warm and safe there I sleep in a alley way don't know if I will survive a night Muggers come in the night but I have nothing to give They just beat me and all I get in return is bruises I find a lottery ticket in a store and I have just enough so I try my luck It happens that I won a million dollar ticket I live in a mansion with a swimming pool The mobsters who beat me Now work for me Life turned out to be in my favor Now try your luck
