Too late, I'm bound to say   I feel my luck slipping away   The light has faded on me   I find myself falling you see      You don't choose to sleep on the sidewalk   You don't choose to sleep on the sidewalk      I used to be so discreet   With the drifters out in the street   But now it looks like I'm going to be   Searching in doorways for somewhere to sleep      You don't choose to sleep on the sidewalk   You don't choose to sleep on the sidewalk      Some time good luck will surely come my way
