Ace
Artysta: Lobo
It hardly seems a long time just a minute of the day
When the man who stood beside me more than gave himself away
The food stain on his spotted shirt a gray beard on his face
A man composed of many names so I just called him Ace
Ace can`t read and Ace can`t write and
He sleeps on a bench at night
A little man the world has left behind
He ain`t bitter he ain`t sweet
Makes his living on the street
Never knowin` what he`s gonna find
Born in Mississippi pickin` cotton as a child
Left soon for the city where he heard that life was wild
That was fifty years ago when nothin`s really strange
From a poor dirt farm to dirty streets is really not much change
Ace can`t read and Ace can`t write and
He sleeps on a bench at night
A little man the world has left behind
He ain`t bitter he ain`t sweet
Makes his living on the street
Never knowin` what he`s gonna find
Go back to the country no he really can`t do that
Wasted years have left him nothin` but an old straw hat
So he puts it on his head and waves a last good-bye
With no time left to turn around and no time to ask why
Ace can`t read and Ace can`t write and
He sleeps on a bench at night
A little man the world has left behind
He ain`t bitter he ain`t sweet
Makes his living on the street
Never knowin` what he`s gonna find
This old world has left poor Ace behind
