Used to live behind a grocey store, Newspaper as my bed, Cooked my food on old canned heat, It weren't fancy but it sure were cheap. Lord you be surpirse At what the stores do throw away, A loaf of bread Just little a little bit green, A can of Campbells past its date, A bag or oranges just too sweet, Something else I think that used to be meat, Thats the thing about living on the street, It ain't to fancy but it sure is cheap. It sure is cheap. It sure is cheap. Get tired of eating alone I just walk down the street Salvation army sing about jesus Lord it's time to eat. It sure is cheap. Everything I have in the world I could carry on my back Wanna get to New York city Just head to the railroad track Well now its time for me to go, I gotta train to meet It ain't the fastest way I know But lord it sure is cheap. It sure is cheap. Cheap. It sure is cheap. (x16)
