lyrics

Two dollars in my pocket, sun’s getting low
Time I’m looking for a place to sleep
Winds coming up, shelter’s mighty scarce,
Time I was thinking about something to eat.

Bowl of chili
May not seem like much
What I need’s a dose of that chili
And a spoon to ‘sup it up.

Dollar on the counter, three-legged stool
Darker the brew, the deeper my ache.
Don’t make it deluxe, just make it thick
Chili done right is a chili that sticks

Bowl of chili
May not seem like much
What I need’s a dose of that chili
And a spoon to ‘sup it up.

Six voices stringing in the weathered street
Friend you’re broker than me.
Ask me for change, give him what I got
Here’s my last dollar.

No use for pockets when there’s no coins to keep
As long as that last bowl of chili is deep
Chili done right is a chili that hangs and puts to your bones to sleep
Bowl of chili
Ain’t asking for much
What I need’s a dose of that chili
And it’s sure to fix me up.

Lava’s still steaming inside of me
Doing its job and keeping me fed
Don’t ask for more belly so full it hurts
Sky full of stars makes a fine dessert.

Bowl of chili
Ain’t asking for much
What I need’s a dose of that chili
And it’s sure to fix me up.

Bowl of chili
May not seem like much
What I need’s a dose of that chili
And a spoon to ‘sup it up.
