"Down And Out In Orlando"

LYRICS FOR THE FILM BASED ON A TRUE STORY

I sleep in a dumpster or somewhere on the sidewalk
I can't understand when people pass me by they just gawk
I have the faith that something good will come along
Maybe I could make a little money if I start singing a song

Down and out in Orlando
Looking for something to do
Down and out in Orlando
With no home to go to

I haven't shaved or had a shower in quite some time
Snooping around the trash for a good meal has been hard to find
I count my blessings anytime I receive some change
I just wish some people who walk past me would not look at me strange

Down and out in Orlando
Looking for something to do
Down and out in Orlando
With no home to go to

But who knows, I could get lucky and win a lot of money some day
Maybe someone nice enough might just come my way
I'd like to know what it's like to drive a car again
I'd be honored to have someone love me and be there 'til the end

Down and out in Orlando
Looking for something to do
Down and out in Orlando
With no home to go to

Is it only a dream or can it really happen
Perhaps I may impress someone rich with all my rappin'
Where the future goes, God only knows
If anything I am so thankful I am still standing here on my toes

Down and out in Orlando
Looking for something to do
Down and out in Orlando
With no home to go to

FOR MILO AND EDDIE,

MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH A HOME SOON...
