lyrics

THE HOBO SONG
How I'd love to be a hobo and live in a shack
A little run-down shanty by an old railroad track
The rumble of a midnight train to rock me as I dream
Asleep by the light of a silvery moonbeam
I'd forsake everything I own to travel this land
Harmonica in my pocket and a guitar in my hand

How I'd love to be a hobo and bum on down the line
Spending what I ain't got on women and wine
Playing my hand in poker games, dealing stud
Passing out and waking up face down in the mud
I'd forsake everything I own to travel this land
Harmonica in my pocket and a guitar in my hand

How I'd love to be a hobo and live by my own rules
I wouldn't answer to anyone or be nobody's fool
To feel the ground beneath my feet, knowing that I'm free
To walk the walk and talk the talk sounds alright by me
I'd forsake everything I own to travel this land
Harmonica in my pocket and a guitar in my hand

How I'd love to be a hobo, a real rambling man
Got no interest, ain't my business being a family man
I'd be drifting 'round singing the hobo's lullaby
'Till the day I climb aboard that freight train in the sky
I'd forsake everything I own to travel this land
Harmonica in my pocket and a guitar in my hand
