Jimmy Buffett - Ace lyrics
Ace --- by Jimmy Buffett It hardly seems a long time Just a minute of the day When the man that stood beside me More than gave himself away A food stain on his spotted shirt A gray beard on his face A man composed of many names So I just called him Ace Chorus: But Ace can't read and Ace can't write And he sleeps on a bench at night A little man the world has left behind He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet Makes his living on the street Never knowing what he's going to find Born in Mississippi Picking cotton as a child Left soon for the city Where he heard that life was wild That was fifty years ago When nothing's really strange >From a poor dirt farm to dirty streets That really ain't much change Chorus: But Ace can't read and Ace can't write And he sleeps on a bench at night A little man the world has left behind He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet Makes his living on the street Never knowing what he's going to find Go back to the country No he can't do that Wasted years have left him nothing but an old straw hat So he puts it on his head And waves his last god-bye With no time left to turn around And no time to ask why Chorus: But Ace can't read and Ace can't write And he sleeps on a bench at night A little man the world has left behind He ain't bitter, he ain't sweet Makes his living on the street Never knowing what he's going to find And this old world has left poor Ace behind - Patrick E.
