I've always known Since I was a young boy In this world, everything's as good as bad Now my father told me always speak a true word And I have to say that is the best advice I've had Because something burns inside of me It's everything I long to be And lies they only stop me from feeling free
Like a hobo from a broken home Nothing's gonna stop me Like a hobo from a broken home Nothing's gonna stop me
I've never yearned for anybody's fortune The less I have the more I am a happy man Now my mother told me always keep your head on Because some may praise you just to get what they want And I said mama I am not afraid They will take what they will take And what would life be like without a few mistakes
Like a hobo from a broken home Nothing's gonna stop me Like a hobo from a broken home Nothing's gonna stop me
