Lyrics:

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
