A dollar a day,
That all he needs.
To make a living he needs,
He pleads.
Just a dollar a day.
He's drunk again, doesn't realize
His wife left him.
He doesn't know what happened.
Years have passed since that day.
Still he will say,
"A Dollar A Day"
In his drunk stupor,
Vision hazed.
Fifteen years old,
Didn't realize he was cold.
Cold as ice in that snow.
Picked up off the streets,
Dressed, nice- neat.
Cleaned up and ready for the week.
That was his past-
In the end he fell back.
To that bottle,
He couldn't be held back.
50 years old.
Out in the cold.
This drink was his last.
