Lyrics
My hobo heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I had a love in every town
I swore that Iwould sooner die
than ever settle down
Me and my hobo heart
Me and my hobo heart
Now look and see what love has done
My feet are rooted in the ground just when
I want to turn around and run
Me and my hobo heart
Me and my hobo heart
I look down the lonesome highway
A lover in every town
And I swore that I would far sooner die
than settle down again
Then I ask myself a question:
What places could I go to -
what road could I take
What trip could I make that wouldn't lead back -
that wouldn't lead back to you
And now my travellin days are through
And ridin horses in the sand or walkin with you
hand in hand will do
Me and my hobo heart
Me and my hobo heart
