  • Lyrics: On the corner of silver and gold Sits a man they call Sam Tattered coat, holes in his shoe Holds a brown paper bag Here they come again to tell him he can’t stay Kind like him keeps the tourists away Neon diamonds shine on him tonight Make him feel invincible again Last roll of the dice, one more card, one last vice Fate can deal a lousy hand Just like Sam Once he was king of this town Lady Luck by his side Never thought it would all fall away Thoughts constantly rewind Here they come again to tell him he can’t stay He should just move on, but he can't pull away A dollar, a dime Just one more chance to turn back time It may never come his way But the million to one is why he stays
