Lyrics

An old jacket on his back and all he could pack in a shopping cart
I was paying for a tank of gas with my Master Card
I braced for his plea knowing what he’d say, and looked the other way
Shaking my head thinking that’s the last thing I need today

Don’t We All, Don’t We All
Gotta ask for a helping hand
Don’t We All, Don’t We All
Turn a blind eye to another man
I beg forgiveness in my prayers, strength to be someone who cares
Don’t We All
 
I gave him what I could to buy a hot meal and a good night’s sleep
He said I’m looking hard for work and it kills me not to earn my keep
God bless you, man, he shook my hand, I answered it ain’t enough
Wish I could do more and hope it helps to change your luck
 
Don’t We All, Don’t We All
Gotta ask for a helping hand
Don’t We All, Don’t We All
Turn a blind eye to another man
I beg forgiveness in my prayers, strength to be someone who cares
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, Don’t We All
 
He said life’s tightening ‘round my neck
All I want is some respect
 
Don’t We All, Don’t We All
Gotta ask for a helping hand
Don’t We All, Don’t We All
Turn a blind eye to another man
I beg forgiveness in my prayers, strength to be someone who cares
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, Don’t We All

Don’t We All, Don’t We All
Gotta ask for a helping hand
Don’t We All, Don’t We All
Turn a blind eye to another man
I beg forgiveness in my prayers, strength to be someone who cares
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, Don’t We All

Whoa-woh-oh-whoa-whoa-o, Whoa-woh-oh-whoa-whoa-o
