James Dean Cotton - These Three Things Lyrics

These three things are beautiful wings
Living on the edge of the road
These three things are beautiful wings
Sustenance, shelter and hope

Rain fell down from the cloud in the sky
Water so clear and so fine, but
Jimmy's so thin that it's making me cry, need
Bread for that baby of mine

These three things are beautiful wings
Living on the edge of the road
These three things are beautiful wings
Sustenance, shelter and hope

Daddy gave it up, said he'd had enough
The money ran out in the Fall
Landlord says, "Yeah, the timing is tough"
So momma's gonna make a new call

These three things are beautiful wings
Living on the edge of the road
These three things are beautiful wings
Sustenance, shelter and hope

Got to get over that wall
Bring it back home, bringing it all

Livin' on the streets for 31 weeks
It's hard to get up when you're down (on the ground)
Hard to believe that we're down in the weeds
And all we do is move it around

These three things are beautiful wings
Living on the edge of the road
These three things are beautiful wings
Sustenance, shelter and hope

These three things are beautiful wings...
