Can Man

Can man lives on the streets
He is not a dead beat
He's an alcoholic 
Trying to stay out of the rehab clinic.
This is a harsh reality
That only he can beat.

He keeps all his can receipts 
On a dirty balance sheet 
Which is a habit.
Can Man

Used to be on the county seat
Now he has no one to greet
For the people he sees aren't in to politics 
And to be realistic 
A horrible smell he trys to secrete.
Can Man lives on the streets.
