Like a hobo, Like a tree

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

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
