Lyrics

It all started with a very early phone call
You know it was out of state
Said I let the message machine get it

I just could not wake
It was my cousins callin, ballin
Some illegal freight
And wanted to know if I could throw
Get rid of some dead weight
That's when the issue came up
No place for them to stay
I could not help them with this
Predicament today
But you know
I offered them
A higher power
Gave them a warm meal
And a hot shower

All that they're looking for is
A place to stay
And they keep calling to me
But they can see

I can't help them anyway

It was about that time
You know it had occured to me
Having no place to call home
Sounded absurd you see
But for those who like to roam
It's right where they feel free
Sleeping in a different state or country
If shit gets hot
You know they came and went
Call up the fuzz
No address where they could be sent
Call me cuz
Cause two weeks in my backyard
They spent
Two guys, two girls
In a three man tent

(chorus)

It was about their turn to go away
I could not face it
It all dawned on me
Said that day
Said that day
To what I saw
To what I say
It's got me to know
And I feel better than nothin

Now once again
If shit gets hot
You know they came and went
Call up the fuzz
No address where they could be sent
Call me cuz
Cause two weeks in my back yard they spent
Two guys, two girls
In a three man tent

Oh to say
That they did want from me
And to know
That I could not help them
But you see
I gave them a ride to where they could
Stay the night in an abandoned apartment

(chorus)
