Man on the Corner
Words/Music Tony DeLecce 2/2002
Bridge added 2025
Im the Man on the Corner Am, G, F, E
the one your mother told you to avoid
Im the man on the corner
and Im selling more than toys
Driving down the road of life
Ive taken every wrong turn
Gonna take you along with me
if you dont start to learn
Im the Man on the Corner
the one your mother told you to ignore
Im the Man on the Corner
and Im standing outside your door
You can turn your back on the world
but you cant turn away from me
You can run but you cant hide
Im coming for your life
BRIDGE
Can't you see whats happened to me Dm, G, Em, Am, F G, CC7
I'm Telling you for your own good
Please listen to me you know what I mean
I'm Telling you for your own good

Im the Man on the Corner
voted most unlikely to succeed
Im the Man on the Corner
and Im selling you ecstacy
Driving down the road of life
Ive taken every wrong turn
Gonna take you along with me
if you dont stop to learn
Im the Man on the Corner
the one you cant afford to ignore
Im the Man on the Corner
and Im standing outside your door
You can turn your back on the world
but you cant turn away from me
You can run but you cant hide
Im coming for your life
