From his Down Every Road compilation album:

Well not long ago I was a happy man

Money in my pockets with the rings on my hands

My money's all Gone and I'm feelin' low

Standin' on the corner of Skid Row

My girl friend left me she don't want me no more

We had a great big fight just a night before

She said I got no class because she knows

I've been hangin' around on Skid Row

Well people walk by and they stop and stare

They giggle and they stickle at the clothes I wear

It's just another day like it always goes

When you're hangin' around on Skid Row

I got an old John Beam with the pain more through

Got a great big hole in the bottom of my shoe

My wine's all gone and I need some more

Standin' on the corner of Skid Row

Well people walk by and they stop and stare

They giggle and they stickle at the clothes I wear

It's just another day like it always goes

When you're hangin' around on Skid Row

Cheers! I stand corrected. I saw him at "Austin City Limits" back in 2000! It was AWESOME! You can actually see me in the front row on the show. "The Derailers" were killer too.
