Glinting gems in the concrete I paved
One every couple of feet
They got mixed up in the lyme and the sand

Nobody noticed but me

How could one little speck

Make a difference to the rest
Well it doesn't, no one cared
Except me


I payed my debt to the hotel unknown
I drove so far, out of funds

They kept me up, a family untied
I shared their wall and their secret


I can tell you this much
There is no love when bankrupt
Just an empty gutted house

and a grave

I got this limp from a favor I did

Some folks don't like charity
Copper pipe is worth more than you'd think
There ain't no point blaming me


How could one little speck
Make a difference to the rest

Well it doesn't, no one cared
Except me


How could one little speck
Make a difference to the rest
Well it doesn't, no one cared


How could one little speck
Make a difference to the rest

Well it doesn't, never will
Just like me
