ray lamontagne - hobo blues lyrics
sometimes i win
and sometimes i lose
and sometimes i can’t help myself
i sing them a-walking blues
i’ve been raised up, misdirected
lost and a-looking for some kinda sign
i don’t know whose life you’re living
but it sure ain’t mine
9 days on a riverbed
9 days in a canyon
9 days with my aching head
and legs just won’t stand
i’ve been drowning in a gutter
blinded by this railroad wine
i don’t know whose life you’re 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
heavy with my hobo blues
my roof is a-leaking and my floors are all old
my pickup won’t run some fort to carry me no load
been handing me a nickle i turn around
and they roll me for a dime
don’t know whose life you’re 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
heavy with my hobo blues
sometimes i win
and sometimes i lose
and sometimes i can’t help myself
i sing them a-walking blues
i’ve been raised up, misdirected
lost and a-looking for some kinda sign
i don’t know whose life you’re living
but it sure ain’t mine
