RAY LAMONTAGNE /// Hobo Blues

[@eliotcharlamagne14]

Sometimes I win
And sometimes I lose
And sometimes I can't help myself
Sing the talkin' blues
I've been raised up, misdirected
Lost and a-looking for some kinda sign
I don't know whose life I'm living
But it sure ain't mine
Keep on telling me I got something to lose
One too many holes in the soles of my shoes
Kicking around town
Oh so heavy with my hobo blues
Roof is a-leaking and my floors are all old
Pickup won't run some fort to carry me no load
Been handing me a nickel I turn around
And they ask me for a dime
Don't know whose life I'm living
But it sure ain't mine
Keep on telling me I got something to lose
One too many holes in the soles of my shoes
Kicking 'round town
Heavy with my hobo blues
Nine days on a riverbed
Nine days in the can
Nine days with my aching head
And legs just won't stand
I've been drowning in a gutter
Blinded by this railroad wine
Don't know whose life I'm living
But it sure ain't mine
Alright
Keep it up
