Lyrics Where Have All The Hobos Gone - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

Where Have All The Hobos Gone

The silver rails have lost their shine
They’re just a victim of our time
They might as well rust in the rain
What good’s a track without a train?
Where have all the hobos gone?
I never knew if they even had a home
So Lord, if you have turned your back
You might as well take up the track
I’d love to hear a whistle whine
And just ride a boxcar one more time
So Lord, if you’re still on my side
You’ll send me one more train to ride
Where have all the hobos gone?
I never knew if they even had a home
So Lord, if you have turned your back
You might as well take up the track
So Lord if you’re still on my side
You’ll send me one more train to ride
