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 going to stop me
Like a hobo
From a broken home
Nothing’s going to stop me (x2)
Ooh, oooh
I’ve never yearned
For anybody’s forture
The less I have
The more I am a happy man
Now my mother told me
Always keep your head up
Because some may graze 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 going to stop me (x4)
Now, now, now, now
Like a hobo
From a broken home
Nothing’s going to stop me
Like a hobo
From a broken home
Nothing’s going to stop me, NO!
SHUT THE DOOR!!
