Under bridges, beneath trestles in the boxcars of dead trains | |
Livin' to beat the cold of the pouring driving rain | |
A silent society moves out in the night | |
Ragged rebels, homeless hobos and those like me | |
Who've lost the light | |
St. Peter is a prophet to all the hobo world | |
An expert on everything | |
From caviar to girls | |
I met him west of | |
Memphis on the 8th of | |
July He handed me a can of beans and a rusty knife | |
And he said "everything out here ain't what it seems And when you're down to nothing Just go ahead and dream Face the fact that you're circle in a world full of squares Trading sorrows for tomorrows, now that's the hobo's prayer" | |
Mother Mary is a lady from down in | |
New Orleans | |
She's seen a lot of living since she was 17 | |
She said, "I'm bona fide and worldly wise, with original parts 'cept for what set me to traveling, I'm talking about my heart" | |
She said, "I can spot a broken heart from 20 miles away So are you passing through or have you come to stay You're running from a woman," she said with a grin "So what've you got to say" and | |
I said I am a pilgrim | |
Where everything out here ain't what it seems | |
When I'm down to nothing, | |
I just go ahead and dream | |
And face the fact that | |
I'm a circle in a world full of squares | |
Trading sorrows for tomorrows, that's the hobo's prayer | |
Trading sorrows for tomorrows, that's the hobo's prayer |
