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

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

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?" 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, oh

Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me (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, no
No, no, no, aye
