"She'd Rather Be Homeless" written by Shel Silverstein and Ann Dailey. Recorded by Bobby Bare and the Old Dogs (Mel Tillis, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare and Jerry Reed) on the 1998 album "Old Dogs Vol. 1"...lyrics...
(posting the lyrics, because they were there..)
It was our 25th anniversary
and I was watching the superbowl
When suddenly she started cursin' me
Hell, I almost dropped my remote control
Then she said that's that
and grabbed her hat
And headed out into the snow
And that was almost two long years ago
Now see her shuffling down the street
Combat boots on her dainty feet
Pushing her belongings
in a cart from the A&P
See her bumming cigarettes
on the sidewalk where she sits
Lord, she'd rather be homeless
than here at home with me
she'd rather be sleepin' in some doorway
than lawlin in the lap of luxury
and when the cold wind starts to blow
Lord, it hurts me so to know she'd
rather be homeless than here at home with me
She said all my friends were dumb (oh?)
And she called me yuppie scum
She said didn't give a damn about my BMW (huh?)
Or my AT&T
She said I could take these credit cards of mine (uh oh, here it comes)
And stick 'em where the sun don't shine
Cause she'd rather be homeless
Than here at home with me
I see her sittin' on her full length mink
And as I walk by she winks
Sayin' spare some change for a lady
A lady who's finally free
She don't want my bonds and stocks
Livin' in her cardboard box
Oh, She'd rather be homeless
Than here at home with me
She'd rather eat soup down at the shelter
Than at the country club sippin' fine chablis
And as I throw her a dime
Lord, it breaks this heart of mine
to know she'd rather be homeless
Than here at home with me
Yes, she'd rather be homeless
That here at home with me

Most days, as I'm selling my pictures on the street, I'm standing right next to Ed Alleyne-Johnson (violinist in the video above) as he plays his heart out to earn a few quid.
