Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Because something burns inside of me
It's everything I long to be
And lies, they only stop me from feeling free
[Verse 3]
Whoa, like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Whoa
[Verse 4]
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
(What they want)
[Verse 5]
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?
Yeah
[Verse 6]
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Whoa
[Verse 7]
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Oh-no-no-no-no-no
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Yeah, oh
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me, no
No-no-no
