For Free Lyrics - The Byrds - The Byrds

I slept last night in a good hotel 

I went shopping today for jewels 

The wind rushed around the dirty room 

And the children let out from their schools 

I was standing on a noisy corner 

Waiting for the walking green 

Across the street he stood 

And he played real good 

On his clarinet, for free

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

Now me I play for fortune 

And those velvet curtain calls 

I've got a black limousine 

And two ladies 

Escorting me to the halls 

And I play if you have the money 

Or if you're a friend to me 

But the one man band 

By the quick lunch stand 

He was playing real good, for free 

Photos 

Nobody stopped to hear him 

Though he played so sweet and high 

They knew he had never 

Been on the TV screen 

So they passed his music by 

I meant to go over and ask for a song 

Maybe put on a harmony 

I heard his refrain 

As the signal changed 

He was still playing real good, for free
