Empty House

Glinting gems in the concrete I paved One every couple of feet They got mixed up in the lime and the sand Nobody noticed but me How could one little speck make a difference to the rest Well it doesn't no one cared except me I paid my debt to the hotel unknown I drove so far out of funds They kept me up a family untied I shared a wall and a secret I can tell you this much There is no love when bankrupt Just an empty gutted house and a grave I got this limp from a favor I did Some folks don't like charity Copper pipe is worth more than you'd think There ain't no point blaming me How could one little speck make a difference to the rest Well it doesn't no one cared except me How could one little speck make a difference to the rest Well it doesn't no one cared How could one little speck make a difference to the rest Well it doesn't never will just like me
