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       verse 1       verse 2
