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 |
|
Like a hobo from a broken home |
|
Nothing's gonna stop me |
|
Like a hobo from a broken home |
|
Nothing's gonna stop me |
|
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 |
|
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" |
|
Like a hobo from a broken home |
|
Nothing's gonna stop me |
|
Like a hobo from a broken home |
|
Nothing's gonna stop me |
