Can You Spare A Quarter

[Chorus]
Can you spare a quarter
For a taste
Or is there a dime
You wouldn't mind wastin'
On a poor old man
Who's lost all his dreams
Who spends his nights in the subway
And his days in the streets

Once I would walk
With my head held up high
Pretty girl on my arm
Just like you
And she'd be wearin' the finest
That money could buy
With a diamond ring
That was sparklin' new
But listen, buddy

[Chorus]
Can you spare a quarter
For a taste
Or is there a dime
You wouldn't mind wastin'
On a poor old man
Who's lost all his dreams
Who spends his nights in the subway
And his days in the streets

You know something'
I had a job
And I was doin' real good
You know, things
Were so much better back then
Till she broke my heart
Like only she could
And left me to this world
Of broken men, so tell me

[Chorus]
Can you spare a quarter
For a taste
Or is there a dime
You wouldn't mind wastin'
On a poor old man
Who's lost all his dreams
Who spends his nights in the subway
And his days in the streets
