Pittman
(C) 2003 Christy Snow
Excuse me ma'am would you happen to have some spare change
'Cause I'm homeless and I'm hungry here tonight
You're awful kind and please don't tell CJ I bothered you
I know he's doing his job but he'll arrest me here on sight

Chorus
He said my name I Pittman ma'am and you are so kind
I don't run into to many people like you
It used to be it was an innocent thing to just be
Now they lock me up for bothering folks like you

She said "friend you're not bothering me I'm happy to help,
You're just in need of a hand and I offered mine"
She treated him like the man he was a human being
And the heart that grew from watching them was mine
Chorus
It challenged me watching her with him
Cause she's how I wanted to be until fear set in
I guess I need to practice what I preach
Instead of slipping where it's comfortable
Staying where it feels safe
Not daring to look a homeless man in the face
Chorus
They lock me up for bothering (repeat)
Lock me up for being, homeless and me
