Song Lyrics

Last Suit of Clothes

album: True Unity (2006), track 8 of 13
author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI

At the intersection
Looking your direction
All you think you see is a bum
One of God's little orphans
In between fortunes
Checking out your kingdom come
Stinginess'll get you
Things you can't take with you
When you lay down your heavy load
Give it while you got it
You know there ain't no pockets
In that last suit of clothes
 CHORUS
   Stinginess'll get you
   A table for one
   Waiting for a thank-you
   That's never going to come
   Looking out the window
   Of your mausoleum
   Out where the bus don't run
There's 'bout as many churches
As there are homeless persons
Give or take a hundred or so
Wouldn't it be gracious
If all the congregations
Fed and clothed a homeless soul
Now don't be a slave
To money you saved
It ain't going with you
when you go
Give it while you got it
You know there ain't no pockets
In that last suit of clothes
 CHORUS (X2)
