What Some People Throw Away Lyrics - Aaron Pritchett

An old piece of rope held up his pants 

As I backed up he threw up his hands 

So, I got out and closed the door 

And asked him what he stopped me for 

He reached down and picked up a burlap bag 

There at the city dump he showed me all he had 

A blanket for the colder nights 

An old King James and a pocket knife 

A worn out watch and a lucky rabbits foot 

A picture in a broken frame 

He said,? I wish I knew her name? 

As he gently brushed his hand across her face 

"What some people throw away"

I turned to hide my tear-filled eyes 

Then shook his hand and said goodbye 

To me it was just a second load 

But he held it like a bag of gold 

I was too ashamed to tell him at the time 

Everything he was holding was mine 

A blanket for the colder nights 

An old King James and a pocket knife 

A worn out watch and a lucky rabbits foot 

A picture in a broken frame 

He'll never know I knew her name 

What I'd give to put that smile back on her face 

"What some people throw away"
