Like a Hobo

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

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

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)

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

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

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
