Could you spare a dime?

I don't remember eatin'

For the longest time

I told him that I didn't

But today he was in luck

I hadn't any change

But I could spare a buck

He wasn't asking for my wallet

This drifter's in a spot

He needs it more than I do

And a dollar's not a lot

He didn't say a word

But before he walked away

He handed me a card

Saying 'Good deed for the day'

When I'd finished reading

The drifter man had flown

Leaving me confused

And most definitely alone

But as I read his words again

I realised what he meant

There are drifters everywhere

And a good deed's heaven sent...
