I’m Not Homeless

[Verse 1]
I watched him walk down the street
Headed toward the mission for a meal and a place to sleep
When he arrived, all the beds were taken
That′s when I offered him to stay with me

[Chorus]
And he said: "I'm not homeless, no need to worry
I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets
I'm not homeless, and I never will be
There′s a mansion in the sky waiting for me."

[Verse 2]
We found him that next mornin '
Face down in the ally, windchill forty below
Nobody knew whеre John Doe came from
But I'll nеver forget these words written in the snow

[Chorus]
I'm not homeless, no need to worry
I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets
I'm not homeless, and I never will be
There's a mansion in the sky waiting for me

[Verse 3]
Only me and the preacher showed up for the funeral
We stood at the grave and sang a song
The sun was shining when the lightening struck
And burned these words into his headstone

[Chorus]
I'm not homeless, no need to worry
I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets
I'm not homeless, and I never will be
There's a mansion in the sky waiting for me
