| Heading out on my way to nowhere
|
| just a traveling man
|
| Hitching rides along the highway
|
| from whoever I can
|
| Gotta stop someplace somewhere
|
| and put some leather on my shoes
|
| They’re the only pair that get me there
|
| any horizon that I choose
|
| I know when the cold wind blows
|
| my coat will keep me warm
|
| I’ve got no woman’s love
|
| to call my own
|
| I saw you lying there
|
| a cast-off from another man
|
| So I picked you up took you home
|
| and home is on my back
|
| Lonely hobo lullaby is my song
|
| Lonely hobo lullaby gets me along
|
| My shoes my coat my jeans
|
| and anything else I own
|
| We’re a family without a tree
|
| no roots to hold us down
|
