(Song I Had One One Time)

• "I Had One One Time"I sure do like your
  cadillacBrings lots of memories backI always
  felt like a starDrivin' around in that
  car'Cause I had one one timeOh I had one one
  timeYou probaly think I'm lyin'But I had one
  one timeHave you got a job that you loveEach
  day you can't wait to get upYou feel proud when
  you draw your payWould you be surprised if I
  sayI had one one timeOh I had one one timeNow
  I hold a cardboard signBut I had one one time

• I bet you've got a good friendYou always hang
  out on weekendsSince high school you've been
  thick as thievesWell I bet youd never believeI
  had one one timeOh I had one one timeSomewhere
  along the lineBut I had one one timeThat
  beautiful girl beside you is probably your
  wifeMan, you've got it all, I'd say you live
  quite a lifeI had one one timeOh I had one one
  timeMaybe I've lost my mindBut I had one one

The way out

• The only fool proof way out of poverty with the
  help of others
• If we are aware of whats happening around us
  then we can notice when someone is headed down
  Poverty Road
• When we notice this, we should help the person.
