Lyrics
To Dine with Kings and Queens
Spent fifteen years in a prison
I cut a man that spit on me
now, I walk the streets of filth
Redemption don't come cheap
Supper came from a dumpster
in the alley on West Lee
I admit, I'm still surprised
how tasty scraps can be
Chorus
Lord, I don't wanna die alone
and leave my hungry bones
without a name, without a home
in a pauper's grave
Maybe, I'm just a foolish man
but I still believe
every man deserves a chance
to dine with Kings and Queens
Shelter's full again tonight
so, I brace for midnight snow
Someone found my cardboard stash
I have no place to go
Musical Break
Bridge
I paid for my crimes, now, I'm finding my way,
look me in the eye, maybe you will see...maybe you will see
Repeat Chorus
Outtro
Oh Lord, I deserve a chance
to dine with Kings and Queens
