Lyrics

The first thought i was whole born hoboin' boy
You know i took a freight train
I took a freight train to be my friend
A freight to be my only friend
Shown her when i took a freight train to be my friend
I went away, i went away, i went away in the wind

Now i'm well grown man
And i remember when
I remember when my mamma followed me down railroad yard
And i watched, i watched my one
My one, my one and only son
I believe he's a goner, a believer
Somewhere in hoboin'
Somewhere in hoboin'

Lyrics continue below...

The first time i was in hoboin'
My hoboin' day
I thought i had so much
I thought i had so many ways to go
And now that i went away
I am away, baby away and away

I thought i had so much
So many ways to go
Just fine a years lady
I know if it wasnt for my good friend
My good look and my guitar
I wouldn't be more than a hoboin' man
Hoboin' man
I'm ok, hoboin' man
