Singer:womack, bobby

not everyone wanna got through the toils and strifes

harry hippie

lies asleep in the shade

life don't bug him cause he thinks he's got it made

he never worry about nothin' in particular

oh

he might even sell free press on sunset

i'd like to help a man when he's down

but i can't help him much

when he's sleepin' on the ground

he's like a bottle in water

harry just floats through life

walks around all day long singin' this song

whoa

whoa

oh yeah

when old man winter gets his horn and starts blowin'

or hitch a ride on a freeway

meet an old familiar face in a new place
