Lyrics

[Verse 1] I watched him walk down the street Headed toward the mission for a meal and a place to sleep When he arrived, all the beds were taken That′s when I offered him to stay with me [Chorus] And he said: "I'm not homeless, no need to worry I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets I'm not homeless, and I never will be There′s a mansion in the sky waiting for me." [Verse 2] We found him that next mornin ' Face down in the ally, windchill forty below Nobody knew whеre John Doe came from But I'll nеver forget these words written in the snow [Chorus] I'm not homeless, no need to worry I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets I'm not homeless, and I never will be There's a mansion in the sky waiting for me [Verse 3] Only me and the preacher showed up for the funeral We stood at the grave and sang a song The sun was shining when the lightening struck And burned these words into his headstone [Chorus] I'm not homeless, no need to worry I've a place with pearly gates and golden streets I'm not homeless, and I never will be There's a mansion in the sky waiting for me
