Hobo Dreams |
| Pouring rain has grounded |
| All the planes out of Louisville, Kentucky |
| So I bought me a railway ticket |
| I had to close a deal in New Orleans |
| When a hobo by the track |
| Said he was going to ride the rails to Arizona |
| I had to fight the tears |
| That weld up in me |
| 'Cause a ragged old hobo |
| Is really better off than me |
| He ain’t nothing but a hobo |
| But he’s livin' his hobo dreams |
| I got a brand new car and a house a good 'ol job |
| In the suburbs of St. Louie |
| And the woman in the gateway to the west |
| She made me everything I am |
| But my three-piece suit is gettin' tight |
| The walls are closin' in down at the office |
| Lord I’ve been too cautious |
| With all my best laid plans |
| 'Cause a ragged old hobo |
| Is really better off than me |
| He ain’t nothing but a hobo |
| But he’s livin' his hobo dreams |
| Said son you outta come along and watch |
| The eagle’s fly in Arizona |
| You’ll never see an eagle fly |
| With neon light reflecting off his wings |
| As he climbed into the rail car |
| His last words echoed back like crashing thunder |
| Lord if I was younger |
| Well I’d ride me a different train |
| 'Cause a ragged old hobo |
| Is really better off than me |
| He ain’t nothing but a hobo |
| But he’s livin' his hobo dreams |
| He ain’t nothing but a hobo |
| But he’s livin' his hobo dreams |
