Love on my side
I've got love love love on my side
I've got love on my side
I've got love love love on my side
He's homeless, he's hungry lord
He's a broken man
Looking for a something he can eat out of a garbage can
He wakes up every day with the smell of cheap whisky on his breath
And his filthy skin is shaking on his bones like the cold cold hands of death
And his worn out hands clutched to his golden cross
That he keeps safely treasured on his bony wrist
He says lord I'm found even though I'm lost
And you know I'm trying to best
But I lost my wife
I lost my home
I lost my children when they got grown
Don't have no money don't have no pride
But my heart has nothing to hide
I got love
I got love, on my side
Love on my side
I got love love love on my side
I've got love on my side
I got love love love on my side
