joe iconis - the vagabond (rock & roll jamboree version) lyrics
[verse 1:]
i’m wearin’ two pair of underwear
some worn out kicks, and my mangy hair
could formerly be referred to
as blonde
i’m just a couple years out the clink
and i’ll take showers in your kitchen sink
i guess i’m what you’d call
a vagabond
i guess i’m what you’d call
a vagabond
i been walking the highway for a while
on my shoulder is a satchel, on my face a smile
fragrance of the road is my cologne
maybe i get some sun, maybe get a ride
i don’t worry none let destiny decide
life’s laid back when you’re totally alone
life’s laid back when you’re on your own
[chorus:]
see i don’t have much, don’t have much baby
don’t want much, don’t want much baby
don’t need much, need much ‘cept baby
the promise of whiskey at the end of the day
i’m just a vagabond looking for a place to stay
[verse 2:]
see i walk and walk and walk some more
i’m a green gr-ss high and a little sore
hoping that a car will soon appear
i stick out my thumb and i let it linger
and my eye kinda travels to the ring on my finger
it reminds me of a woman who’s not here
and my chest starts hurting, that’s just cuz’ of the heat
and for the first time in days, i start feeling my feet
i start feeling the feeling, the journey’s crushing me
cool it man, just get it out of your head
where’s the car, where’s the car, this road is f-ckin’ dead
but i don’t worry, just repeat instead
[chorus:]
that i don’t have much, don’t have much baby
don’t want much, don’t want much baby
don’t need much, need much ‘cept baby
the promise of whiskey at the end of the day
and the tolerance to drink all my memories away
i’m just a vagabond looking for a place to stay
oh, yeah!
hey!
[verse 3:]
i’ve been to three states and as many days
and my head’s been baking in a blaze
a fumes and blumes of daisies choked by weeds
i looked into the eyes of a roadk!ll deer
and he sort of told me run away from here
where every man’s a vulture fit to feed
yeah, well fleeing ain’t a problem for me
cuz if you get me down then i guarantee
i’ll up and leave and i never will return
yeah, i’ll break your heart, i’ll break your back
i won’t lose no sleep, sh-t i can’t keep track
of every bridge i use and then i burn
and the night’s in pennant and the doom is too
and the thought of what i’d done to you
is what sends me to through desert and beyond
oh, stop stop please, i’m up for a tray
just take me far away from mistakes i made
and gimme some release
help me sleep in peace
take pity on the broken vagabond
[chorus:]
you see i don’t have much, don’t have much baby
i don’t want much, don’t want much baby
i don’t need much, need much cept’ baby
the promise of shelter at the end of the day
from the places where the bad b-st-rds swarm and pray
with every bone in my body wanna hear you say
that this vagabond can put his walking shoes away
i’m just a vagabond looking for a place to stay
yeah!
