Hobo

Don't know where I'm going

Don't know where I've come from

Just can't seem to find a home

Can't seem to settle down

The life of a hobo is no fun

I'm just a hobo on the run

One day of sweating backache

One day of freezing rain

One year of breaking hard rock

Six months of jumping rail

The life of a hobo is no fun

I'm just a hobo on the run

What can I do what can I say

Don't even trust the length of the day

Only the witness of Southern Jim
