Hobo in my mind Songtext

von Tom Paxton

Hobo in my mind

1. Love on smoky mountain,
Drinking from a soda fountai,
That's where I was when I was a hobo in my mind.
Hoppin' freights and pickin' dates,
Gabbin' beans from old tin plates,
Its seems like years since I was just a hobo in my mind.

Refrain:
It did know how to set my mind to dreamin' of a way
To get my hands on something
That I had to find one day.
Far beyond Chicago,
Somewhere where the longest trains go,
That's where I was when I was
A hobo on my mind.

2. Me and a couple of budies,
We didn't care if our shoes got muddy,
We didn't care where the train was bound,we'd ride them rafters blind.
Oh, maybe I was crazy,
Maybe just my foolish ways,
But that's where I was when I was a hobo in my mind.
