Lay Your Money Down Lyrics

	Poor old man came from
	Mississippi
	Nothin’on his mind but a cheap fifth of whiskey
	Playin’ his guitar, got into the city
	Workin’ on the streets just to make a living
	Well he could sing those coffee house blues
	Mississippi
	John made it look so easy
	Cigarette behind his ear
	His eye are lookin’ misty
	Really let go when the bottle’s half empty
	Singing it loud, his voice is kinda gritty
	He knows he’s got nothin’ to prove
	He spends his time playin’ in the city
	Won’t you lay your money down
	Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
	Won’t you lay your money down
	Everybody said he’d be better off leavin’
	And he knew in his heart
	That he better start believing
	Better use the talent
	That the good lord gave him
	To get out of this place
	He don’t need a good reason
	He’s giving heart and soul to you
	He spends his time playin’ in the city
	Won’t you lay your money down
	Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
	Won’t you lay your money down
	Look downtown see the man on the corner
	Working so hard just get a dollar
	People walk my want to call him a beggar
	Don’t want too much
	He's just taking what they offer
	Well he’s playing each note for you
	Well he spends his time playin’ in the city
	Won’t you lay your money down
	Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
	Won’t you lay your money down
