Cardboard Sign by The Miners Lyrics

She’s got no money and she’s got no friends
Not sure how this story ends
Sittin’ by the highway with a cardboard sign
Asks me brother can you spare a dime?
Only 18 but she’s got no home
How it came to this we’ll never know
Do her parents know where she sleeps at night?
Have you ever seen such a sorry sight?

Beggin’ for mercy on a cardboard sign
Asks me brother
Can you spare a dime?

Not the type of homeless you always see
Lovely daughter out on the streets
Pretty face shines through the grime
Asks me brother can you spare a dime?
Traffic moves on and passed her by
Does she want to eat or just get high?
Same old story told a million times
Asks me brother can you spare a dime?
Beggin’ for mercy on a cardboard sign
Asks me brother
Can you spare a dime?
Beggin’ for mercy on a cardboard sign
Asks me brother
Can you spare a dime?

Only 18 but she’s got no home
How it came to this we’ll never know
Do her parents know where she sleeps at night?
Have you ever seen such a sorry sight?
Not the type of homeless you always see
Lovely daughter out on the streets
Pretty face shines through the grime
Asking me brother can you spare a dime?

Beggin’ for mercy on a cardboard sign
Asks me brother
Can you spare a dime?
Beggin’ for mercy on a cardboard sign
Asks me brother
Can you spare a dime?
