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 |
