He's like the gutter people babe   No pride his face displays   Has he slept for hours or has he lain there many days?    Still there's a smile on his face   Through all the dirt and grime   At least a credit due the man   He don't stoop down to crime.      Yeah, people pass him on the street   They hide their face in shame   He's treated poorly with disgrace   Man without a name   Just another one of life's many heroes   Of a bourbon society   Well it's a case of livin' hard-reality      Chorus:   Beggar man you got to stand up real tall   Life is no where at all   Beggar man you got to live for today   Don't take your heart and throw it away.   Beggin' life's a hassle baby   People can't you see   Daddy was a real proud man   Bad luck brought him to his knees   Might be standin' there   Yea beggin' you for a buck   Why doncha just give it to him   It might just change his luck.      Chorus:   Beggar man you got to stand up real tall   Life is no where at all   Beggar man you got to live for today   Don't take your heart and throw it away.
