Last Suit of Clothes
album: True Unity (2006), track 8 of 13
author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI
At the intersection Looking your direction All you think you see is a bum One of God's little orphans In between fortunes Checking out your kingdom come Stinginess'll get you Things you can't take with you When you lay down your heavy load Give it while you got it You know there ain't no pockets In that last suit of clothes CHORUS Stinginess'll get you A table for one Waiting for a thank-you That's never going to come Looking out the window Of your mausoleum Out where the bus don't run There's 'bout as many churches As there are homeless persons Give or take a hundred or so Wouldn't it be gracious If all the congregations Fed and clothed a homeless soul Now don't be a slave To money you saved It ain't going with you when you go Give it while you got it You know there ain't no pockets In that last suit of clothes CHORUS (X2)
