Young Bones can never know
just what he’ll run into
out on the street.  

There’s no way of telling
whose going to buy your body
for the night,
and what they’ll want to do with it.  

Bones has learned
to take them as they come.  

He’s also learned some tricks
to keep from being hurt real bad,
or even being killed.  

He’s been way lucky so far.  

He has this feeling
that he won’t be lucky
forever.  

No one ever is.

Bobby

It's a hard situation to stay lucky in. However, Bones has shown his street smarts many times.
I admire Bones' ability to survive.

Who's?

Hi Bobby, living on the streets is not so much fun, surely adventurous though. One should be lucky to survive for long, wishing Bones lots of Luck.

Yes Bobby I think Bones will be safer in your own back yard, but I suppose he has to take a chance like the rest of us and enjoy the big wide world outside. Take care my friend.

Thanks Lindsay,

Yes, don't worry, Bones gets around.  Like I say, he has some tricks of his own.  One of him is still breathing.  Bones never was a stick in the mud, if you know what I mean.
