Lyrics
Cold hands on a corner by the train station stairs Guitar case open, nobody cares Three chords and a cardboard sign Play it loud, play it fine One coin, two coins, ding in the case A kid stops dancing with a grin on his face Play it on the corner, play it for the street Play it for the shoes that hurry past my feet Somebody stop, somebody stay Somebody hum along on the way Play it on the corner, loud and proud I don't need a stage, I got a crowd Rain on the strings and a busted old amp Battery fading, the night getting damp A lady in a raincoat drops a bun Says keep on going, you're the only one One coin, two coins, ding in the case A kid stops dancing with a grin on his face Play it on the corner, play it for the street Play it for the shoes that hurry past my feet Somebody stop, somebody stay Somebody hum along on the way Play it on the corner, loud and proud I don't need a stage, I got a crowd Hey, hey, I'm still here Hey, hey, play it clear Hey, hey, one more song Hey, hey, sing along Play it on the corner, play it for the street Play it for the shoes that hurry past my feet Somebody stop, somebody stay Somebody hum along on the way Play it on the corner, loud and proud I don't need a stage, I got a crowd Play it on the corner Loud and proud
