Heading out on my way to nowhere

just a traveling man

Hitching rides along the highway

from whoever I can



Gotta stop someplace somewhere

and put some leather on my shoes

They're the only pair that get me there

any horizon that I choose



I know when the cold wind blows

my coat will keep me warm

I've got no woman's love

to call my own



I saw you lying there

a cast-off from another man

So I picked you up took you home

and home is on my back



Lonely hobo lullaby is my song

Lonely hobo lullaby gets me along

My shoes my coat my jeans

and anything else I own

We're a family without a tree

no roots to hold us down
