JONAH 121611 - COWTOWN by TEXAS WATER

JONAH

Jonah lives under the bridge
Jonah lives under the bridge
He’s there, up off the ground
His world is looking down
Bicycles pass him by
Children ask parents, “Why
Jonah lives under the bridge.”
Jonah lives under the bridge
No insurance policy
Send in the scholar
See Jonah in squalor
Jonah lives under the bridge
Jonah lives under the bridge
His roof is the pathway
The tires all travel
The people with places to go
His floor is the grit
And the sand and the gravel
The rain and the wind and the cold
Jonah lives under the bridge
Jonah lives under the bridge
For those with the will
To earn up the dollar
People with something to buy
Jonah finds cardboard
To burn up the hours
To warm up the smoke in his eyes
Joan lives under the bridge
