Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's Blues (Live 2025)

If you're living on the street, you know, we who live in abundance, we have to think what it must be like to be down to your last dollar and your last cup of coffee and your last pair of socks that are dry. Maybe it's just that some conditions, some situations seem to need a song for it.

Facts and figures and statistics are one thing, but sometimes a poem contains the words that fell off the page just like the people who fell off the sidewalk.
