To The Begging

(Chorus)
To the begging I will go boys
To the begging I will go
All I need is a cardboard sign
A good spot by the road
I'll wash your windshield, anything helps
My mortgage was foreclosed
Will work, God Bless, I'm a homeless Vet
To the begging I will go

To the begging I will go, boys, to the begging I will go
I used to be a fine upstanding citizen long ago
Now the only thing I see is darkness down below
Grubby clothes, now the life I chose
To the begging I will go

(Chorus)

To the begging I will go, boys, to the begging I will go
Gospel Mission's out of beds and the forecast calls for snow
The clinic closed where I got my meds a couple of months ago
But I'll be fine if I get some wine
To the begging I will go

(Chorus)

To the begging I will go, boys, to the begging I will go
Help me get in off the streets, I haven't lost all hope
There's some things that work, and Jesus loves me this I know
But I can't do it on my own
So a begging I will go

(Chorus)
