Hoboes Are My Heroes

[Verse 1]
You know, hoboes are my heroes
They don't ever pay no bills
Well, they like to ride around
Rolling down those rusty rails

[Verse 2]
Well, take a gander, there's the rambler
With a stogie and a stingy brim
And his spit-shined shoes
He's looking sharp for the shape he's in

[Verse 3]
With a pick-lock in his coin sock
The hobo always finds a way
To take just what he needs
So's to live another day

[Refrian]
Hop a ride, hop a ride
Hop a ride, yeah, hop a ride
You can always hop a ride
When the wolf is at your door

[Verse 4]
You know, hoboes are my heroеs
With their bindle sticks in their hands
Thеy're just old souls roamin'
Dreamin' of the Promised Land

[Verse 5]
Watch your backs, boys, watch your backs
And buddy keep your head down low
Cause there's a bull in the switchyard
With a loaded 44

[Verse 6]
Hear that high lonesome call
Of the wild howlin' in the morn
That's just a freight train whistle
Hollerin' "Hobo, can't ya come?"

[Refrian]
Hop a ride, hop a ride
Hop a ride, yeah, hop a ride
You can always hop a ride
When the wolf is at your door

[Verse 7]
In the morning, in the evening
And even when the sun goes down
There's a man without a home
Ever-yearnin' homeward bound

[Refrian]
Yeah, hop a ride, hop a ride
Hop a ride, yeah, take a ride
You can always hop a ride
When the wolf is at your door
Yeah, hop a ride, hop a ride
Hop a ride, yeah, take a ride
You can always hop a ride
When the wolf is at your door
You can always hop a ride
When the wolf is at your door
