Restorations - The Reappearing American Hobo

She was just sitting there
Lost like a dollar in a game of roulette
Sitting next to all the fancy chips

I said, “hey, I can sympathize.”
But I was really just acting the part
She closed the book and conversation in one move
Saying, “no, man, you really can’t.”

And how much can you get
For a dollar and some cents?
We can ask for pardons when
The mayor calls it in

Then she turned away and said:
“I hope you never live to see the days I had
Huddled for warmth inside a bin.”

And then I looked away and said
Absolutely nothing, just thought instead
How good I’d always had it, who I’d been

I called her bluff but thеn she went all in

And to think it at started whеn I said I didn’t like Kerouac
