GIVE ME THE LIFE OF A HOBO

I looked at my life as an orchard
Blooming in all for me
But I’ve come to learn that life is a race
Between hope and eternity

So give me the life of a hobo
And I’ll ride the rails all day
And watch the green fields through the doors pass me by
As they endlessly roll away

I’ve run out on my family
There’s none of them left who care
And I am a ghost to my own self
Not much of my soul left here

So give me the life of a hobo
And I’ll ride the rails ‘til I die
And live with the weight of my conscience
My heartless Alibis

I am a ghost to my own self
Not much of my soul left here
So I’ll go with the wind ‘til the wind goes with me
Taking me off somewhere

So give me the life of a hobo
And I’ll ride the rails ‘til I die
And no one will come for me looking
And no one be wondering why
