The Man On The Corner Lyrics by Anthony Boccaleoni

Starlet Nights

2023

There was a man who lived on the corner
Who used to sing songs to his beloved wife Jill
And one day he came back from the valley And sang these songs to the folks on the hill
Wasn't that a chill?
There was a man who saw every blunder
Who used to memorize every president's name
He took and he fell into a mighty sorrow That took him all the way to his fame
Wasn't that a shame?
Cause he was walking down the sidewalk on main street
As he was approachеd by a man with a gun in his hand
He was asked if he would likе to live
And without response he did what he did
And he said I hope you don't mind I just had to know
I hope you don't mind I just had to go
I hope you don't mind I just had to show them
What was wrong with their intelligent minds
What was wrong with their intelligent minds
What was wrong with their intelligent minds
There was a man who saw every heartache
Who used to cry at the sound of debate
And one day he told his wife that he wouldn't like to die this way
But he did anyway
There was a man who lived on the corner
Who used to sing songs to his beloved wife Jill
But one day someone came and took that all away and put him into an early grave
At the ripe age of twenty-eight
And he said I hope you don't mind I just had to know
I hope you don't mind I just had to go
I hope you don't mind I just had to show them
What was wrong with their intelligent minds
What was wrong with their intelligent minds
Said I hope you don't mind I just had to know
I hope you don't mind I just had to go
I hope you don't mind I just had to show them
What was wrong with their intelligent minds
What was wrong with their intelligent minds
What was wrong with their intelligent minds
