Aaron Pritchett - What Some People Throw Away Lyrics
As I backed up he threw up his handsSo, I got out and closed the doorAnd asked him what he stopped me forHe reached down and picked up a burlap bagThere at the city dump he showed me all he hadA blanket for the colder nightsAn old King James and a pocket knifeA worn out watch and a lucky rabbits footA picture in a broken frameHe said, I wish I knew her nameAs he gently brushed his hand across her faceWhat some people throw awayI turned to hide my tear-filled eyesThen shook his hand and said goodbyeTo me it was just a second loadBut he held it like a bag of goldI was too ashamed to tell him at the timeEverything he was holding was mineA blanket for the colder nightsAn old King James and a pocket knifeA worn out watch and a lucky rabbits footA picture in a broken frameHe'll never know I knew her nameWhat I'd give to put that smile back on her faceWhat some people throw awayA picture in a broken frameHell never know I knew her nameWhat I'd give to put that smile back on her faceWhat some people throw awayOh, it broke my heart to hear that old man sayWhat some people throw away
