My first attempt

My first attempt at lyrics for Clarke.  The working title is "The Wandering Man"

Stepped off the bus into this no name town
Dropped my bags in the dust as I looked around
No friendly faces looking back at me
What kinda fresh start is this gonna be?

Guitar on one knee, I start to play
No one in mind, I just sing to the day
Sun is shining and the birds are out
I get to the chorus and begin to shout.

Heaven help the wandering man
No one to care or to love
Heaven protect the wandering man
I need some aid from above.

Liftin’ my spirits up, the music flows
Hummin’ loud to the hoppers and toads
People notice and gather ‘round
They catch the rythmn, they like the sound.

Soon they are swaying in their seats
Sitting down around my feet
I giv’em my best one tooth grin
Encouragin’ all to stop and join in

Heaven help the wandering man
No one to care or to love
Heaven protect the wandering man
I need some aid from above.

The lights go out, the sun is down
No one left, is hanging ‘round
Another day, another song
No one stays for very long

Heaven help the wandering man
No one to care or to love
Heaven protect the wandering man
I need some aid from above.
