about

I wrote this song about being a hobo until something better comes my way.

lyrics

C G C
E7 F7 C G C
C
I’ve got a hobo shirt, and some hobo shoes.
I’ve got that hobo hurt from them hobo blues.
G
I could quit as a hobo any time that I choose,
C
but I’m a hobo ‘cause I got nothin’ to lose.
E7
I find a place to sleep every single day,
F7
I love a’livin’ life in that hobo way.
C G C
So as long as I’m a hobo then a hobo I’ll stay.

I’ve been a’hobo singin’ on that hobo song, I’ve been a’hobo drinkin’ for so hobo long.
I’ve been hittin’ on this hobo bong, if it feels so good it can’t be hobo wrong.
I find a place to sleep every single day, I love a’livin’ life in that hobo way.
So as long as I’m a hobo then a hobo I’ll stay.

I love that hobo girl, with her hobo style. She’s got them hobo curls, that drive me hobo wild.
And I would walk that hobo mile, if she would be my little hobo child.
I find a place to sleep every single day, I love a’livin’ life in that hobo way.
So as long as I’m a hobo then a hobo I’ll stay.

C G C
E7 F7 C G C
E7
Some people like to look down on me,
F7
they say there’s only one way that anyone can be.
C G
I tell them that I’m a hobo and I’ve gotta live free.
E7
Then they tell me to go out and get a job,
F7
I don’t wanna be another piece of corn on the cob.
C G C
So as long as I’m a hobo then a hobo I’ll stay.

I’ve got that hobo ridin’ on my hobo brain, I know that hobo sidin’ for that hobo train.
This hobo’s life is goin’ down the drain. If I don’t get on soon I’ll go hobo insane.
I find a place to sleep every single day, I love a’livin’ life in that hobo way.
So as long as I’m a hobo then a hobo I’ll stay.
So as long as I’m a hobo then a hobo I’ll stay.
So as long as I’m a hobo then a hobo I’ll stay.
