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
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
like a hobo from a broken home
nothing's gonna stop me
like a hobo from a broken home
nothing's gonna stop me.
